I'm just guessing here, but I would expect this to be something the company looks to change in our upcoming contract negotiations, along with the 2500 TT requirement. Will be interesting to see what they offer in return...

Their house their rules.
Light weight piston PIC shouldn’t count just from a common sense perspective.
Now if this was something piston that requires a type rating then its a different kettle of fish.
Maybe…..
Be ambitious but don’t be too eager to upgrade, it’s a different world.

Jokes aside. Still don’t think it should be moved.
