So help me understand how this is happening?
Because its total time and time in type. Most of my time is from the 121 world and that's where I cut my teeth. I upgraded with zero turbine PIC time, then moved to a larger airplane that I'd never even flown before as a Captain. Not a single hour logged in that aircraft as either SIC, fake PIC or real PIC. Just a type ride in the sim then a couple of weeks of IOE.
Granted the part 135 world allows a little more flex when it comes to interpreting the rules, but anyone who plans on sitting in front of a major part 121 air carrier in the future should keep their logbook black and white (or green if its that brand.) No gray areas. No Pseudo PIC.
