I’d think hard and long about that. For many people 1000hrs just isn’t enough experience to really take on that pic responsibility. The faa minimum imo is already pretty low and many airlines required more than that only to now drop those required to the faa minimum. CA upgrades have no where near the same pass rate that initial has.
