I'm not a fan of this bridge program. I think it's a little crazy to have a wet com pilot in front of a crj. I think at a minimum at any airline no matter the economy, how desperate the airlines are, there should be a min of 500 hrs to be able to sit right seat on any airline. Just imagine what would happen if the captain had a heart attach and this sub 300 hr pilot now has to make a decision on their own with people's lives behind them.

Student straight to ''fo student'' is not going to do anybody any good. I know it's possible to do and has been done in the past but come on. Imagine what would happen if when you walked onto an aircraft that the pilots had to have posted their flight experience posted on the door. I could see passengers wanting to wait for a more experienced flight crew.
