Yeah I get that all the time. It is single Pilot, but as said if the authority where you fly requires it and your SOPS and OPS Manual are deisgned around operating it M/C. Theres no reason why it shouldnt be counted. I would write back witha reference from a colleage in your company or Chief Pilot explaining the Mult Crew Policy at your company. I agree with 411a Multi / Crew is not that hard especially when good training is in place. Sounds as though they dont want to do much Training or their Training Department is wanting. Most companies, I feel, want guys so they can mould into their SOPS and less experience is Better when learning Multi Crew, as Ive found. Going from 4000hrs Single Pilot Ops to Multi./ Crew Captain required some reprogramming for me
