Does anyone know if the 250 PIC is a 'hard' number? Most of my time is CFI time, so unfortunately my actual PIC time as calculated by airlineapps.com is only around 200.

I don't really want to go out and spend a couple thousand dollars to rack up another 50 hours PIC if i don't HAVE to. Trust me, i'd love the flying, but i really don't have the funds!!
