Except for in flica when the system asks you input your "121 sic time" each vacancy bid when trying for captain. I doubt that's the case, rather I think it's crew planning's shorthand method of asking if you're legit before trying to go for upgrade.
The reg (121.436 (a) 3) says the 1000 hrs can be any combination of following:
121 sic time
91k (net jets etc...) multi turbine pic
135 turbojet pic, or 10+ pax seat pic, or commuter multi pic
You need a combination of 1000 multi 121 or 135 turbine time in order to satisfy the requirements of becoming PIC in a 121 operation, plus being at least 23 years of age. I don't think that's a Compass rule, it's a FAA rule. I've heard of some MIL guys being able to use up to 500 multi if they flew C130s and the likes.....but I'm not sure flying Part 91 is included (and that could be a Compass rule) - but from what I heard, they don't accept Part 91, unless I'm about to learn something new...
