havick,
Re Eaglejet and their E-3 program as mentioned above that, since Ameriflight is a Part 135 operator, they're getting people in under §135.245 Second in command qualifications ? I'm not familiar with Part 135 but see that:
"...no certificate holder may use any person, nor may any person serve, as second in command of an aircraft unless that person holds at least a commercial pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings and an instrument rating."
This would preclude the 1500 hrs ATP thing.
And that 1,000 hours is a number Eaglejet has come up with vs FAR required ?
Or maybe this from the Ameriflight website ?:
Part 135 Captain with Ameriflight Waiver:
1,000 TT, 400 XC (defined as point to point), 70 instrument (actual or simulated, 40 must be in flight in airplanes), 80 night
Commercial Pilot License with multi-engine land and instrument rating or an Airline Transport Pilot License
English Proficient
High Performance and Complex logbook endorsements
FAA Medical, First or Second Class
FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit
Current Passport

I plead total ignorance ! ;-))
