Now that’s funny, talking to a Compass FO was the first place I encountered this issue. He has never been a Captain but logs PIC on the legs he fly’s. This individual also believed that Delta strongly prefers pilots with "slat and engine under wing time" and asked me if I planned to leave my Captain seat on the RJ at SkyWest for Compass so I could build that necessary time. What a fool and I told him that to his face!
There are pilots who, because the regs say you can, will log PIC time when they are "sole manipulator."

He was hired after the date needed to be employed by to get the FT number, so this precious “snowflake” will have to interview like the rest of us. He was adamant that because he logs PIC time as an FO, is a Compass pilot (in his words Delta prefers Compass pilots more than any other) and he has "slat and engine under wing time" he’ll be hired long before a guy like me who has 7X+ more hours than he does, thousands of hours of legit RJ PIC time, over half a dozen internals and two college degrees.
BTW, the "engine under wing time" came up only when I asked him if he's ever seen a CR7 or CR9 (slats), that caused him to break into the “engine under wing time.” He said that Delta wants Slat and EUWT because that’s what they fly, my response was “ever seen a DC9 or MD88/90?”
My FO and I tried to stay quiet but we could only do it for so long. Needless to say he was very unhappy when he walked away.

BTW: 10 Tons = 20,000 lbs. Even the E120 meets this requirement.

Looks like there's no weight requirement for FO's and a 50 ton requirement for entry level CAs. That's 100,000 lbs., not a signle Regional Jet meets that requirement, unless you're on the E190 at RAH.
I was also told FedEx doesn’t ask for PIC time anymore, instead they ask for “time signing for the aircraft.”
