That's why the 800hr comment.

Oh and Dashdriver, Glad your keeping track! Its all a bit of a mess.
Yeah--one would think they would at least bump it up to 135 IFR PIC requirements...I've always wondered about that one actually--if a CA becomes incapacitated, theoretically wouldn't you want the FO having the same experience required to fly 135 solo, since he/she is technically a 121 PIC at that point???
