I would have taken the left-seat at 1500 hours without hesitating at Trans States. The system was small enough that I was very comfortable in just a few months. Fast forward a couple of years to SkyWest and I still find myself learning too many new things every day (everything from non-radar in the mountains to SFO, LAX, ORD, and DEN in a single trip) to say I'd be completely comfortable (capable, howver, I am sure) to do the same.
