I have less than 500 PIC obviously, and never counted my dual recieved as PIC as most airlines do not recognize it. Does this mean I have to go fly the crap out of my brothers traumahawk or what? What is this I heard about part of your SIC going towards PIC, and is this only for ATP minimums? Places like CAL who want 500 PIC and 500 SIC, and other majors who have their PIC requirements.....what to do? I guess I should figure this out soon so I can fly the traumahawk as much as possible during the next few years haha......... Thanks
And what about those hired with 250 TT? I guess they would be in an even worse boat than myself?
First, I don't agree with the system that allows someone with 600hrs or less in the right seat. However, that's the system and you made the right decision. Stay where you are (fly open time), upgrade build your PIC (again, fly open time) time that way. Forget about SE-PIC, at this point it gets you nowhere. It's called paying your dues.
