a few (I think 5 or 6) people in my class had less than 4 years total between 1 or 2 airlines and 0 military flying time. Not the norm but certainly not unreasonable
2 years as an FO, upgrade, 1 year as a CA then call to interview around 800 TPIC.
OR 2-3 years at a regional, jump to an LCC, 6 months to 1.5 years there then interview.
class was DL in early 2020
