J3 I'm curious where you work,when you got hired, and the equipment your in. You come off acting like you are holy'er than everyone else with out pic time. Are you at a regional airline now? Are you wanting to make a career in the airlines? If so than I dont think having a ton of pic time is going to help you. Most guys that are lacking pic time are only lacking 20-30 hrs, and it sounds like most poi's are waiving the pic xc time. If you are at a regional now it means you are pretty junior, not a lot of hiring since 2007 til this past year. Do you really think us 4 and 5+ year FO's are going to pass up upgrade training because of 20-30 hours? Trust me, they will get the time needed, and in the mean time you will be the the low man on the totem pole.

I'm not saying the way some of us got into the airlines with low time is right, but I sure don't need someone acting like were scum and that you did everything right, which in the end if your looking at making a career in the airlines isn't going to help you
