I actually had experience before I got a job at the commuters.
2000+ hrs was the norm to get a job back then.
Then again when I was at the commuters I flew an aircraft that did not have an autopilot. All hand flying.
Paying your dues is all about acquiring experience before you fly pax at a 121 operator.
Also, I haven't been at the commuters for more than 14 years.
I'll put it in a language you can understand....
