I had about 4000 hours of Part 121 background, but it was all SIC, plus another 1500 or so in business jets. My TPIC hours were all logged working for an aircraft management company under Part 91 and 135. All the company standards, training programs, etc. were in line with Part 135. But, if I had to guess, I'd say 80-90% of my TPIC hours were all logged under Part 91. They didn't ask for a 91/135 time breakdown in the interview or on the application. Additionally, I was invited to interview before I hit 1000 TPIC. I was pretty close, but I didn't officially cross that 1000 hour mark until after I had been hired and was waiting on a class date.

I believe it’s been that way for at least a couple years.

Yes, the verbiage on pilotcredentials has been that way for a while. I had not heard of anyone actually getting hired in the last few years without 1000 TPIC though. Rob Fisher not only confirmed this during the open house in May ‘17, but added the fact that the ‘effective’ hiring mins were 1000 TPIC in a 12,500# (or greater) aircraft. That’s why I was curious how long ago gbntpilot had interviewed.

It’s preferred, not a hard requirement.

Good to hear, cause it’s taking me waay longer to get my 4 year done. Hopefully by the end of this year it’ll finally be finished though.
Hoping they can understand that putting my wife through a bachelors and then a DNP program debt free was more important than finishing my degree at the time...
