- pc86 3y agoALPA would never allow that - you can start flying a 737 or similar in Europe with a wet 200-hour commercial license. In the US you need an R-ATP with 1500 hours before you can even be considered and even then you're going to start on something smaller. For context, I've been flying recreationally since 2017 with two or three long pauses (6+ months) and have well over 200 hours. You could hit 200 hours in the first 12-14 months if you were dedicated, picking up your instrument and commercial on the way.
