Although that concept makes COMPLETE sense in the U.S., and some other countries, how a foreign airline does things can be COMPLETELY different to how the U.S. view time/experience. Some have things like hours in aircraft over a certain weight/tonnage, etc that can exclude pilots that have multi-crew experience.
