I've been doing the airline thing for almost 3 years now and can count on one hand the number of approaches I've shot to less then 2500 RVR.
The first 3 months on the job here I did 3 1800 rvrs in two weeks - and haven't seen anything close since.

My SIC did an approach the other day where we broke out at 250 ft with 1 mile visibility and he was thrilled he did his first approach to "minimums." Funny stuff.
