For example in my previous stint at Eagle it took me 3 years and 3 months on property to fly 1,000 hours.
Now that I have a line, it’s fairly easy for me to project when I’ll hit 1000 hours and it’s less than 2 years from my hire date and that’s with a 4 month new hire training footprint. However, I know everything is different for everyone. Maybe I’ve been way more successfull than others at getting flying time. For what it’s worth, I was more aggressive at going out and getting flying than some but I do know others way more aggressive than me.
