Hi.
Looking for any insight on the subject of SIC flying time. Any opinions on when a SIC should get to start flying legs with a senior captain on a two pilot jet? Scenario: SIC has 800hrs, Part 91 FD.

For deadhead legs, as soon as he or she is qualified on the plane--that is, ground schooled and meets FAR 61 flying training. Deadheads are there to practice until ready to swap legs. With me, first deadhead leg would be the new guy's.

Pretty much Captain's judgment, unless the chief pilot has an opinion. We did it that way in the AFR C-5 and now with the GLEX. The captains have to be mentors and instructor, regardless of any other expectation. If your captains don't speed time teaching and working with a 900 hour new guy, then no amount of deadheading will ready him.
