How about an F/A-18? How about an A340?
If I'm not mistaken Hornet drivers head to the fleet around that point in their careers.
Cathay Pacific "Cadets" are also strapping in for revenue service around that time too.
I wasn't ready at 300 hours, but I wasn't in that kind of program. But its not unreasonable to think there is a way to manufacture 300 hour pilots who are ready.
I wouldn't think its more cost effective than part 61 training and CFI'ing to 1500 hours, but that's another discussion.
