Guys its real easy. All they are doing is addressing the guys with previous time that could potentially fulfill the 121 requirement reg.
First of all, no matter what, you have to meet the 121 requirements as usual.
But let's say you are a former military aircraft commander and you have logged 1000 hours as the commander of the airplane. You meet the requirements to be PIC at a 121 airline like PSA. You can be Captain PER THE FARs.
But PSA is saying "wait" no so fast, you have to meet the following additional requirements-
You have to either
A.) Log 300 hours as a PSA FO
-or-
B.) Have 2500 hours total time with 500 in a multi turbine
-and 1 of the following-
1.) 500 hours PIC 121 -or-
2.) 1000 hours SIC 121 -or-
3.) a mix and match of 1 and 2
This is not something to invite street captains the way I read it, this is more restrictive than the reg.
Of course I could be wrong too though but this is how it reads to me.
