Everyone that is upgrading has at least 1000 hrs of 121 time, most have much more. Remember in 2007 when places like XJT or CHQ had a 2 year upgrade? Many of those FOs did not have have 1000 hrs yet, my buddy being one of them. Its not like CFIs are spending 6 months in the right seat and then upgrading. Back in the late 90s some regionals were upgrading FOs that hadn't completed initial training yet, I guess it might help you to know a little history first before putting a tasteless picture on here.
