Not a particularly reassuring "explanation" re experience / competence of the folks up front. Sounds sort of like a Lyft or Uber ride from a sixteen year old just out of drivers' training. The pilot shortage worldwide is becoming acute. US regional airlines are hiring anyone with a pulse who has the minimum hours and no serious felony convictions! They are also offering large bonus packages the day you show up for class. This is stripping smaller operators of pilots as fast as they get 1500 hours. Strangely enough smaller part 135 airlines actually love a candidate with skeletons in the closet on the theory they may not be able to move on quickly. They can also hire pilots over 65 who are prohibited from working for a part 121 airline. G
