Yeah,, you are correct. I shot from the hip. What I do know is when I was hired everybody in my class had well over the 5,000 hr mark. So, I went with that.
I also mentioned going to the website for better info.
So sue me.
What I was trying to get across is that a low time guy is going to find it hard to get in. And he has to remember that there are still a lot of people to get back first. And that is going to take a few more years.
