Upgrade to Captain w/o ATP PIC requirements
#31
I am in a similar place, at pinnacle 4200 hours of SIC and I just got my ATP on my own, when to a ma, pa type place and only have like 200 hours of PiC , notch cross country, my APD told me a lot of people are getting this reg wrong. But one can get their ATP with low Pic time , they are just using come of your SIc time to do so.

I am confused about how you would get your commercial ticket without more cross county time and night time. Do you just fly the pattern for 200 hours during day VMC? No cross-country or night time to build EXPERIENCE to meet the requirements for a commercial ticket??? Wow . . . I never thought I would see a conversations such as this! Very, very sad.

OK, I'll buy that argument. But, are the airlines hiring pilots with 100 hours? The lowest I have ever heard of was 250 hours. Are guys/gals coming from 141 schools with 100 hours total flight time straight to the right seat for a 121 carrier?

I think the whole reason that provision about "SIC conducting duties of PIC" is in there is so that you could log PIC time during your CA IOE. That is the only time you're actually performing the duties of PIC under the supervision of the PIC (check airmen). At that point you have all the appropriate ratings, but the check airmen still signs the release, meaning he's the actual PIC. Am I wrong?
