Or are PIC hours on >27,000kgs a must?
What are your experiences?
It's a different business in my opinion... Going from a domestic/continental airline to an intercontinental cargo airline, the requirements are not the same either. I think it will all depend on what the demands are of an airline. Take in to consideration there are nowadays loads of pilots on the market due to the pandemic, with massive amounts of experience. If a company is looking for skilled commanders, they will have their pick. Everything can change in a heartbeat (as we have experienced last year)
