Default 11,700 hours for captain

I noticed in the some of the articles about the Air France flight that the captain had about 11,700 and around 1500 in the A330. Is that number of total hours small for a captain flying transoceanic passenger flights? I don't know so that's why I'm asking. Just to prevent any confusion, I'm not trying to conclude the captain lacked appropriate experience either. I just saw that number and would have thought a captain would have had more total time considering about 750 hours a year are flown. Just wondering.
