The regs Are black and white but there is als a bit of grey that you have neglected to cite and that is the ability to use part 135 PIC time also to go towards the 1000 hours. (Also in my posts, and an interpretation attached). My concern is that, as supply shrinks, there will be a push to have pilots upgrade before they are ready.
I have no illusion that it will not be a steep learning curve for me, but I relish the challenge.
Part 135 time under an FAA AOC.
Not to mention the regs are hardly grey at all. They are very black and white and stipulate what Part 135 flying can and can’t be counted.
