From what I've heard from those in J2 SFO can be applied for 6 months after final line check as long as you have the
factored hours, SIM was to a good standard and you have the recommendation from your base Capt. For those with the hours that
means around 10 - 12 months. I'm not in J2 personally but have friends who are who have achieved it during that time frame. 👍
