Looking for 121.436 advice.
Hi there. I'm hoping someone can shed light with this issue. I recently applied for a left seat position 121 operator. I was seriously considered because I have all the heavy jet time for their requirements. However all that time was accrued on a non US carrier. Although the carrier operated into the US, all my time was not regarded as 121.436 by my prospective US employer. The words used by the FAA regs are "under this part" which implies a US carrier. They were disappointed as was I naturally. They kindly offered me a right seat position which could mean some years (1000 hours) before I get back to the left
My question is.
Has there been a similar case where the FAA issued a waiver in this situation? Can I make an appeal to the FAA?
