I may be wrong, it's been known to happen. :-)
By the way I read the regs, the 3,500+ hours of 135 PIC I have is useless for upgrade because it was for a freight operation, which isn't included in 135.243(a)(1).
Not a huge issue for me personally since I'd prefer to wait until I can hold MSP CA and by then I'll have more than the required 1,000 hrs 121 SIC anyway.
Having flown the thing a scant six months, I gotta say that 1,000+ hours learning the Jungle Bus from the right seat before jumping into the left isn't the worst thing in the world.

MSP CA might be a long time coming... Hard to tell what the future holds but as of right now MSP does seem to be growing and in fact may be shrinking slightly...
I've been in the business 7 years and this is the closest I have ever been to upgrade. So I've made the decision to take the first upgrade I can which will be LAX.
Just food for thought...
