"even when you lose an engine at rotation (which I did with an aeroplane that weighed around 12000lbs at the time..on an ISA+20 day)"
Please tell me more, I assume you rejected the takeoff and stopped straight ahead, not possible to continue flying in the B200 I flew at that weight and conditions.

"I chuckled when I saw an advert for RFDS PC12 drivers, it asked for the 500hrs hours bit, how absurd"
Insurance requirements are just as valid as regulatory requirements. 757 FO time will not help you do a black hole circling approach to a strip with only emergency flares.
If you have two pilots, who have equal qualifications, one has say 500 PIC twin otter, and the other 1500 hrs PIC 210, which one would you employ to fly a PC12 ?
nomorecatering,
Yes it does, however what one airline values in a pilot varies. What criteria one airline uses is not the same as another.
I have seen this requirement for an airline in the UK for a F/O position "Require 2500-3000 hours total time, to include at least 1500 hours commercial jet time"
Makes 500 multi PIC easy in comparison.
