For background, I qualify for an R-ATP with military experience (need 750 total time, 250 x-country, 100 night and 75 instrument, and I have 975, 860, 233 and 302, respectively). The only items that might be questionable are the 250 PIC, 100 x-country PIC, and 25 night PIC, of which I have none. However, according to 14 CFR § 61.159(a)(5), I should be good to go with 736 SIC, 736 x-country SIC and 196 night SIC in aircraft requiring dual operations, under the direct supervision of a PIC and while in a PIC-upgrade program.

I have an interview on the books with SkyWest, but I was wondering if anyone out there had any insight on why Envoy is telling me I don't qualify. I can understand if I'm not a competitive enough candidate, but to say I don't qualify isn't tracking with all the research I've done on this. I've asked for clarification on which minimums I don't meet, but haven't received an answer.

Thanks all!
Have no clue about mil conversions, but for R-ATPs you do need the RTP qualifying night and cross country time (which is already reduced from the full ATP requirements). There is no getting around it.

Did you log the SIC as SIC or as PIC?

Looks like the disconnect.

Legality notwithstanding, zero pilot-in-command experience may make for a hard sell.

I'm assuming your AF, is the 975 coming from primary + secondary time?

Yeah, I’m AF. And correct, primary + secondary only, no sim or other time in that number. I also did not apply any time adjustments, though if I did, that puts me well into the 1000+ range.

The Envoy recruiters aren't pilots and it's possible they made a mistake. They are more accustomed to seeing RATPs through degree programs at 1,000 hours. I do know Envoy will not interview with less than RATP/ATP requirements but other airlines like SkyWest will. They may have just seen your hours and made a hasty veto without checking military requirements.

PM Me. I'm a AF Guard guy currently at a regional and spent months making sure all my hours were kosher according to the FAA regs and I can look at your logbook for you.

Maybe becuase of the 250 PIC requirement is the issue since it your a copilot and dont have 250 aircraft commander time?
