Little experience is one thing but an experienced pilot doesn't really need to have flown to all theaters of the world to become captain.
Unless there is a void in training?
Sorry I just don't really agree with the concept that flying to all corners is a prerequisite, it really all depends on how a person prepares ahead of the flight, the information and training the company provides and your Route Training Captain.
Hahahahahaha. Route Training. Funny.
There is no such thing as Route Training here. You can get your class 2 / ETOPS sign off on a NRT - SYD flight and you are expected to prepare yourself for operating in the NAT HLA system. Doesn’t matter if you’ve never flown it before.
