We do due diligence in training. We still want 200hrs power. We can provide the 10hr tailwheel checkout, at cost. We provide the Pawnee and tow training and mentoring.

Bill,
Our insurance at a commercial operation requires 500 total time and 150 in taildraggers. I believe your requirements are more sensible and quite adequate. I understand that in some cases the chief pilot can approve another pilot with less experience and while experience is the great teacher, intelligence, maturity and a willingness to fly within ones own parameters is of paramount importance IMHO.
