I for one was done with IOE at 20 hours and have never missed a single day of work, not too bad for my first 121 gig? But that's the environment we are in, we take who we can get and apparently hire people over e-mail now. This is a great place just some more cash in the pocket would be nice and not having some really terrible pilots would be nice as well, but that is the training departments problem. Which I imagine they are a little more stringent now that airplanes are getting bent now and again.
I hope it wasn't 20hrs. I'm fairly sure the FARs require you do do a minimum of 25.
