I am in a similar situation. However I feel it is better to get off probation before being too ambitious, not to mention I have mixed feelings about condemning myself to SCR, for 2+years. Based on all my inquiries, the answer is YES. Once you have 1000 hrs of any combination of that FAR time required, and you bid upgrade, you will be awarded, but there Is an additional requirement of 300 hr with the company as and FO, (FOM 4.13.7 as others have stated).it can be waived with:
-2500TT, including
- 500 hr ME turbine, and either,
- 500 PIC part 121 or
- 1000 121 SIC

So I guess the answer is “kind of.” Because you need 300 hr with the company as an FO, if you don’t have the 121 time needed to be exempt from that requirement.
