So, 250hrs is enough to go fly copilot or wingman in combat, but not in an airliner? And before you say "you're only responsible for yourself or a military crew", remember that the consequences around pulling the trigger can have national/international implications. And yes, I had 313 hrs when I left on my first deployment.

If you're well supervised, and trained to be proficient enough to pass a check ride, you should be good to go. If not, tighten up the check ride standards. Since there's no FAR against having someone with 250tt as an FO.........

Some of you were CFI's for a long time, many folks getting in a 121 seat now won't. Get over it.
