Also generally confused by all the requirements stated here? It might help me understand better if someone could run and example of say a guy who was hired at a 121 airline with say 800 hours. How much more flight time (assuming the pilot is an SIC at a 121 airline) would this pilot need to be fully qualified to fly as PIC of a 121 airliner (ie fully qualified to have and unrestricted ATP)?
Thanks in advance
It's only a problem for those people that were hired with a wet commercial(less than 150 hours of PIC). FAA needs only 250 hours of PIC or SIC. ICAO needs 1200PIC to get an ATP with no restriction so you can fly outside the US. And of that you need at least 150 of actual PIC, the rest can be SIC but only half (.5) of total time. All that means is that you need to fly twice as much as an FO to achieve the PIC since SIC only counts as half. The problem I think is for those that don't have 150 hours of actual PIC, then they have to rent a 172 on the weekends.
