You bolded the part in which I talk about SIC and then you went on to talk about PIC time. When I wrote that I was specifically thinking of continental's hiring mins in which they listed 1000 hrs Turbojet SIC as a minimum. Last time I checked turbojet time =/ turboprop.
I believe the training contract is 2 years and 8,000 dollars. We will probably not be hiring anytime soon so our hiring minimums don't matter much. We will be down to 48 aircraft with over 600 people on our seniority list. At least a third of QX captains have no carreer aspirations beyond flying the Q400. If attrition does not pick up I'm guessing that there will be more furloughs by next fall. If that doesn't change your mind remember too that many airlines don't rate turboprop time very highly; many will hire you with turbojet SIC but give no respect to props.[/QUOTE]
Turbine is turbine and turbine PIC is turbine PIC. 50 seat turboprop or a 50 seat RJ...doesn't matter. I doubt they value the guys turning the autopilot on at 200 feet and off at 200 feet over the guys that are flying in the weather doing hand flown VOR and ILS approaches vs RNAV approaches with the autopilot.

Not to knock your comment then, but Continental just wanted 1000 turbine, it wasn't a turbojet requirement.
