Yeah that's right. Some people do their commercials in a multi and skip the ASEL, but they forfeit the chance to get an easy ASEL which they will most likely have to add later. Skipping the ASEL commercial is not a good idea.

That is scary, I have never heard of times that low. A few years ago there were some regional FOs being made with only 250 hours plus a few more in a level D sim. Even that is more flight time! Pilots like that are not ready for anything besides predictable flying. Turn the airplane on its side or break something, and suddenly they are not pilots at all.
