Those guys got in at exactly the right time and already had the 1000 SIC requirement covered. As time wears on all the guys getting bypassed due to the 1000 rule will have the required time.
There will still be quite a few guys that will enjoy a very fast upgrade, but they are already hired and flying the line, someone hired right now is not one of them.
Howdy, I'll be new to 121 starting PSA Feb. 16.
I'm coming from a background in general aviation for a number of years, and I've been flying 135 for the last 3.5 years. So I'm not new to flying, but certainly green in 121.
One question, does anyone know if 135 flight time counts toward the 1000 hr air carrier requirement to upgrade?
