well yes, all your time after private is PIC if you are actually flying as PIC or instructing, etc. but if you have been flying SIC for an airline, then you cant be logging PIC time. am I correct? that's why I am a bit short of 250.

and thanks "what", but I went through the website, hence the question. it says "preferred" after 250 PIC. so that's what my question is, is that a hard number in terms of a minimum requirement? or has anyone gotten on with Eagle with less than 250PIC? thanks again guys.
