You are absolutely correct about the valid time period of the FAA First Class Medical. And that is totally irrelevant in this case.
When I interviewed at UA, they instructed us not to count ANY PIC time from before completing flight training, including solo time. ***?? Utterly asinine, stupid, illogical etc. I mean, if I can't count solo time as PIC, then who was the PIC?? To this day, I can't understand why they did that, but they did. As was said earlier, they make the rules; all of them. Show them that you can follow their rules, all of them.
