I guess I missed the "poking" and "jabbing." Does the RJ not have an autopilot?
Hiring minimums are commercial multi, but you still have to get through training, which is indeed no easy task. Rumor has it that we are not hiring less than 300 TT due to high washout rates, but I haven't seen it officially.
To go from 300 TT to captain in 10 months would require some incredible timing, considering you would have to fly 120 hours every month for 10 months straight, including reserve. My average on reserve as an FO was about 40 hours/month, but I know that the reserves are getting used much more now. I was hired with 650 TT, upgraded as soon as I hit 1500, and it took about 15 months, FWIW.
