I knew about the 250 hours of PIC required, but I had no idea about the 100 PIC XC, 75 PIC actual/simulated instrument, and 25 hours PIC at night.

A lot of people dont know about the fine print in th ATP requirements and think all they have to do is work for an airline and the company will give them the ATP when they upgrade.

So if I have done all those things, you are an idiot then? Great, guess what, you're an idiot.

What would you tell an FO at a 121 carrier to do if they don't have 250 PIC. Never upgrade or go figure out a way to get PIC time on the side whether it be instructing or whatever? But I'm guessing that these people with less then 250 probably don't have an instructor cert.

Airwave, you have something negative to say to everything. Be nice or stay silent.

I would say not... but again for FAA logging purposes it would count towards PIC. If it was me I would just keep a student or two on the side or something. That would have to be worked out with the company which might be possible if you gave them this explanation.
