I know a couple of guys/girls who joined directly out of training i.e. around 170 hours incl IR.
But this is offshore in Europe. I don't know if it's different at other bases throughout the world.

It's 'first officer' not 'co-pilot', it more accuretly reflects the job. At least in the north sea.
Some based require 1000h, some bases have no hour requirements. All have a grading procedure. All require IR. This is what I know from the NS.
Cheers

Title and operating capacity - two different things. Titles are captain and first officer, operating capacity is commander or copilot. So when a captain flies not in command, he is flying in the capacity of a co-pilot. You would still call him "captain blogs" (if you wanted to be formal, although it is of course the more normal "Oi you" if being addressed by management).
Only dinosaurs and foolish people!
Edited to say that one of the requirments might be to be able to spell requirements!
Some might say "Ballast" ?!
