He's talking about airline apps..which breaks your times down into actual PIC time, solo time, and dual time. It is very specific about not putting your CFI time into the "PIC" time category. But when you get to the end of the process. It should total your PIC time correctly by adding the 3 of those categories into one.

It's a PITA but you'll be fine. The reason AE is requiring 250 PIC is for ATP mins. There are a bunch of FOs hired in 07-08 with 250 total time that don't meet mins, so they can't upgrade unless they go out and rent a warrior and get the 50-70 additional hours of PIC time they need.
