To wit: 121.436 "(3) If serving as pilot in command in part 121 operations, has 1,000 hours as second in command in operations under this part, pilot in command in operations under § 91.1053(a)(2)(i) of this chapter, pilot in command in operations under § 135.243(a)(1) of this chapter, or any combination thereof." 135.243(a)(1) reads "(1) Of a turbojet airplane, of an airplane having a passenger-seat configuration, excluding each crewmember seat, of 10 seats or more, or of a multiengine airplane in a commuter operation..."
Am I missing something or as I say, have the regs changed recently?
Nothing has changed. If you hold an ATP (which you need for the commuter ME PIC operation), that time counts towards 121 upgrade time.
