The key requirement for upgrading to captain at a Part 121 carrier, other than seniority, is that you need 1000 hours of Part 121 time or Part 121 qualifying time; I believe you can count 500 hours of multi pilot military time or 1,000 hours of Part 135 PIC time flown at a passenger carrying Part 135 operator. If you have only GA experience, you would upgrade once you accumulated 1,000 hours SIC time at your new airline just like everyone with a wet ATP.
