Well what is this part then?

500 hours of experience as Captain on Jet category

The "other programs" are nothing like this one. 5 Years in Indonesia being a slave for very bad pay and only one ticket a year.

This part....

"Other programs (Junior Captains) available for candidate(s) who meet all the above minimum set requirements except the 500 hours Jet Command time"

I guess it's just badly worded and I would never go to Indonesia anyway... Just curious...
