So anything you are short at 800 would have to be acquired in the next 200 hours. Almost all of your flights would be point to point XC but you may not be able to get the required night or Inst in that time. So we look for those numbers when you are initially hired.
Got it, currently I only have 180 xc, 40 night and about 65 instrument. (For the most part only getting day VFR at my current job) so I guess it would make sense to just come in as an FO if an opening comes up?
