As I found out, in international ops LOTS of stuff is metric:
It is NOT 30 TONS. It is 30 TONNES.
30 Tonnes = 66,000+ pounds, so all of the ERJ-135/145/CRJ-200 hours do not qualify.
Well put and great point, but to clarify a bit ... tonne = metric ton = 1000 kg (kg force, technically) = 2204.62 lb (lb force).
So my F28-1000 time wouldn't qualify (65000 lb). My F28-4000 time would (73000 lb). Very arbitrary.
