I agree with this......this coveted time is a huge part of why pilots are undercutting each other ....they think that after the 1000 hours pic their phone will start ringing .....but in reality it wont and doesnt.
I know quite a few guys at AE that got hired at CAL with zero PIC 121 or turbine time.....just their CFI time as PIC....and they all were not interns.
just an opinion.....no flame intended but I think 1000 hours of turbo prop PIC should be required and watch SJS suddenly get cured
There will be ALOT of disgruntled pilots at those fast upgrade regionals in a few years because they thought they would be gone by now......but still there
