Leaping from 135
Hi guys. I was hoping to get some insight about 135 capts that have recently made the move to PSA. I see that regs allow previous 135 turbojet PIC time to be used towards the requirements of 121.436 in lieu of/combined with previous 121 time. Will these 135 PIC hrs actually lead to a new hire upgrading sooner or even right away (if they had a 1000)? Or does the company still require a certain # of company hrs, 121 hrs, etc before offering the left seat?

I’ve already sorted that part out. Was just wondering if there’s been any recently hired 135 guys that were offered upgrade earlier or immediately if they had the 1000 hrs for 121.436 requirements

I am in a similar situation. However I feel it is better to get off probation before being too ambitious, not to mention I have mixed feelings about condemning myself to SCR, for 2+years. Based on all my inquiries, the answer is YES. Once you have 1000 hrs of any combination of that FAR time required, and you bid upgrade, you will be awarded, but there Is an additional requirement of 300 hr with the company as and FO, (FOM 4.13.7 as others have stated).it can be waived with:
-2500TT, including
- 500 hr ME turbine, and either,
- 500 PIC part 121 or
- 1000 121 SIC
So I guess the answer is “kind of.” Because you need 300 hr with the company as an FO, if you don’t have the 121 time needed to be exempt from that requirement.

I can’t speak to someone in your class, and their spesific accommodations, or background that leading to their upgrade. I can simply share what the rule outlined in the FOM is. I am not saying you are wrong, but to be frank, you ,nor any of us know what someone’s spesific experience/background is, or what consideration was made when that pilot was awarded upgrade. We only know what is in our company pubs. One might say plan on what the FOM says, but there are rumors of exceptions to that.
