There should be no pilots, no matter where they are from in the airlines with below a certain number of hours. It should be at least 500 (and that is still low) but it should be a hard number, not to be broken. I heard that there was a guy with like 280 hours that got hired. Now that is a joke, what can he bring to a "professional" job. NOTHING! I think that his mommy must have gotten him a job by being a flight attendant or something.
