How do you know he wasn't an Maddog FO the whole time? I never saw anyone say these guys were 737 FOs. At my previous employer (the US Air Force) we had a few guys upgrade as low as 600 hours, and they did fine. A year in five months on the line at Delta is a good bit more time than that. Also all of these guys were Captains before somewhere. This is not the first jet they will be PIC in. So I think they will do fine.
