You need the 1000 hours of FAR qualifying time to actually fly as a captain but that should be obvious. The process from DOH to captain line check could in theory be 9-10 months.
I was a NH there in 2000 on the 75/76. I think I have about 400 hours in type. I was furloughed and never came back . Would that be an option or is the 75/76 still semi senior for capt awards ? Someone asked why one would do subject themselves to years of reserve? I have about 6 years left so that’s why.
