True about PRIA, however to limit liability a 121 carrier will have to demonstrate it has done its part in verifying employment and drug testing records as well as any punitive actions taken against the pilot.
The 121 PIC requirements are what they are and in 135 insurance company largely determines upgrades.
Acquaintance of mine came from PIC on a Heavy and TRI/TRE at a Middle Eastern carrier to FO on a A320 in the USA.
So apologize if I came across harsh but that’s the reality.
