I agree, I think applying as an fo would be a better route. Give yourself at least a few months to get comfortable with the plane, the operations, the company Etc as an FO. Then once you have 1500, and feel comfortable, start the upgrade process. I came in a year ago with 2700 hours out of a management position at a university Flight School. I started as an FO, and I'm super glad I did. Going to start the upgrade process soon.
