Based on that reg I can count my previous 135 PIC time towards an upgrade. Has anyone seen this yet and if so how did it play out as far as the quickness of upgrade?

Currently the upgrade is just under 2 years. While it may drop a bit, I wouldn't count on it hitting 3 months again anytime soon unless we see some major growth. Count on 2 years and you won't be disappointed.

So what exactly counts as credit coming from the 135 world? Do I have to be listed as the PIC on the trip sheets or can I count any of my time acting as PF, in the left seat, as PIC time? I only ask because we swap legs and usually only the senior captain gets listed as trip PIC.

So what does this make the initial training footprint look like? Indoc to starting IOE. I already have my CRJ type looking to make the move from another regional and am seeing what kind of time away to prep my wife for. Not sure she’d be on-board for another 3 months of training just yet.
