And most people do not stay as a FO in the Bro for a full year. Most people "upgrade" and move to the 99 as a Captain. In the recent past, the magic time in the right seat seems to be 6 months.
Truth be told, however, there are only 8 EMB-120's and most all of the FO's lately have been "internal" hires. They have either been former interns or associated with the company in some other way. It is a good place for the company to put someone that they know and like to build some time so they can move up to other things.

Who did your last recurrent training big guy? The props are 10.5' in diameter.

If folks have been upgrading in less than a year it is because they are coming in with more hours to begin with. The target is the magic 1200 hours. If you start with 800 - 900 then it will work out about that for most of the runs.
My big point was that if someone came on with 300 hours, they would be stuck in the seat for at LEAST a couple of years or they would leave to go somewhere else. Like an FO in PHX did a while ago who DID come in with only about 400 hours.

In general we are looking for 800-900 hours tt. This is so after about a year of flying you have the time to be legal as a part 135 captain (1200 hrs) in a PA31 or BE99. At 300 hours it would take a good 2+ years to reach that point. The other question would be how much multi time you have. The Bro has 1800 SHP engines turning 8' diameter props. It can get a pretty good yaw on a V1 cut and you need to have the experience to be able to handle it.
