PIC Requirement for the ATP

PIC Requirement for the ATP
In light of the fact that 250 hour wonder pilots are flying RJ's... How do people who have been hired with less than 250 PIC at a regional satisfy that particular requirement when it is upgrade time? Do they just credit the time as flying pilot as "time performing duties and functions of the PIC", or is there a more strict definition that requires them to actually act like the captain and perform their duties accordingly?
Here's the FAR, ugh I mean CFR...
250 hr. of flight time as PIC of an airplane, or as SIC performing the duties and functions of a PIC under the supervision of a PIC, or by any combination of the two. This requirement must include

According to rumors, this issue came up with one of the captain upgrades at Trans states. They found a way around it, so it can be done.

Looks like the 250 hour wonders might have to hop back into the almighty 172 again before upgrading..

I was under the impression that the only person who can log PIC in a 121 environment is the person whose signature is on the flight release... which will be the captain's?

josh,
while an ioe captain upgrade isn't fully "capable" he is fully legal to perform the duties of the captain, he simply hasnt been released to the line yet. Heck, a couple of high-min's captains i've met still aren't capable, although they're legal and released.

I see where you're coming from, Josh, and agree with you. What I was talking about was FOs not being able to log PIC, even if they have a type rating in that aircraft. I do understand that UOE is a different beast all together.

This is the real problem for the low timers
They may not be able to fly international, not sure but this could be an issue at many regionals.
