You need a certain amount of REAL PIC time, several hundred hours maybe (you have to rent the 152 for this). Once you meet that requirement you can get two-for-one credit for your 121 SIC time towards the 1200 PIC requirement. So you do not have to buy 1000+ hours of 152 time. Actually thet would be kind of funny if they did
