Not ABX...we only have 200 ish pilots total. Plus no upgrade restrictions. We had a FO at one time with 1800 total time and 0 PIC turbine upgrade to DC8 captain and made it......this was a time when ABX had a 50% washout rate on the 8 and they were proud of it! Plus it's tough to get a pod strike on the 767....I am sure it's been done but not at ABX.

These requirements are not driven by Level C vs Level D, they are driven by what has already been stated (hard landings, unstabilized approaches, etc).

41,000 lbs isn’t that big of an airplane. These seem like minimalist requirements to be a captain on a heavy going to places that most people have never heard of. I know that you guys don’t fly as many hours every month as those at Delta or United and this could take time for some, but then again being a captain at an ACMI carrier is much more demanding than being a captain at a company that has vast resources in place every time the jet lands. The job that you do is way more difficult than what the legacy carriers do and requiring some quality experience before you are handed the keys to a heavy is a good thing.
