MCC for FO on single pilot aircraft?
Well it appears the pilot tree is full again. I just spied an ad on AFAP asking for King Air FO. At first I assumed it was an FO job flying a Hawker 850 and a King Air but it doesn't seem to be that way.
The funny thing is the King Air FO position requires you to have 50 PIC on type and have done an MCC course. Not only that but an ATPL also!
If I had King Air PIC and an ATPL the last thing I would want to do is be a seat warmer on a single pilot aircraft.

The B350 is FAR25 and all that comes with that.

There are one or more operators that have approval in the form of an exemption, permitted co-pilot time. It would be part of their ops manual. I imagine there would need to be some good reason.
As for the 50PIC, yes that might be a challenge to find a willing party.

Most smaller mining companies are happy enough with the requirements as prescribed by the regulator
B200. I have seen an approval for 2 pilot ops for RPT but not an on demand charter mob

Many a contract called for 2 pilots even in a Chieftain. If the client required it one must find a way.
Captain is not something you are or are not, it is a position you hold within a company. If the company have to operate a single pilot aircraft with two pilots and you are hired to sit in the right seat, then you are not a captain, even if you have 10,000 hours PiC on type.

FO wanted for 737.
Must have 737 PIC time
Entry level FO remuneration offered
Those without 737 PIC time not eligible

What would be the issue with that? Advertised position for an FO..... Now requiring a Capt qualification means that if someone takes the job they really need it or one wouldn’t apply. Can’t see that requirement ever happening!!!
Imagine if 99% of B737s flew single pilot. They'd be a bit thick to require FO time on a B737 right? Because almost no one would have it. So if 99% of B737 operations were single pilot and an operator had to operate one multi-pilot and they wanted a pilot with B737 experience, the ad you've described seems perfectly reasonable.
Start with ratbag rules about how and when pilots log hours (ICAO non-compliant, of course) then a bureaucratic (and not inexpensive) "answer" to a question that should never have needed to be asked.
Tootle pip!!

"I have yet to come across a BE200 2 pilot SOP OM approval for RPT or Charter and I look at several operations per year."
Spent half a life time flying two pilot on two aircraft types that were legal to fly single pilot in IMC, although we were confined to VFR. Why two pilot? Because that's what the owner/operator wanted.
