Well after sifting through the usual civil/military stuff, I think I got a few answers in there.
Thanks
What if the person didn't have any crew time though? What if all the time was single pilot in that Piper cheyenne? Would he still be able to get the interview or would they say "erm...that's not exactly what we had in mind..."

Stepping in here...
This thread is about this
And somehow morphed into a military vs civilian vs single pilot vs crew debate. Lets put it back on topic.
This thread is about this
I put this here because I'm thinking of FDX/UPS, but I suppose the question can apply to any major carrier.
When larger airlines want pilots with 1000hr Turbine PIC, does ANY turbine satisfy the requirement? What about the RJ FO who has 1000 PIC in a Piper Cheyenne, or another light aircraft with a turboprop STC?
Are they looking for PIC time in a transport category aircraft, or do GA planes satisfy the hiring boards?

DC-4's didn't have a F/E, that was a real live civilian navigator. Probably originally from Matson Steamship Line.

Some of the best pilots I have flown with come from the civilian background, single pilot , IFR, turbine and otherwise. East coast and great lakes winters and very little support. Most had to work another job to get the flying . They are quick and adaptable and learn working with a crew quickly. Next are the Mil transport guys , big aircraft background, some into difficult operating environments, very easy to get along with , understand the systems on the airplanes.

and then was a RJ FO.
I'd imagine if you can put it on your profile it will count. But what do I know?

Contacts always trump flight time.
