Friend of mine got a call from crew Resources yesterday about how many PIC hours he had. He had 717A on his dream sheet. 13 months with the company. Could be very big moves afoot.

Whatever they might be, it looks like we won't see them until at least Monday.

I wonder why they would want PIC time? He already has an ATP right? Is he military only? I would think it would take most former mil only types about 1.5 years on property to meet the 1000 hour 121 SIC requirement for upgrade.

And I am betting LAX717A goes over 11000.
