"Minimums, ie: pic time is to get you the interview. Once you get it, it's ALL about selling yourself". In the 90's no legacy carrier required 1000 PIC turbine. I had 1002 hours of the aforementioned and asked a gentleman by the name of Cecil Yule a similar question, and the first sentence of this post was his answer. I immediately put my apps in with all carriers and had interviews with 3 majors within 2 months. Of the 5 airlines I interviewed with, only JB didn't like what I had 2 offer... blessing in disguise. PIC time is not about how big the aircraft is. It's about the "C" in "PIC". try to maintain a positive attitude, treat your crew and aircraft with the paradigm the you are responsible for not only their safety, but their advancement, realize that they are your most valuable asset and you won't have a problem. I am a military AMC guy with many hours PIC in heavies, who has seen many an EMB-120 captain who had a better grip on this theory than a lot of heavy PIC guys. Enjoy the 120!
