Pic Time With The Majors
Here we go again...
In JAAland PICUS is not PIC! Anyone trying to sell herhis PICUS as PIC, stands zero chance at the job interview.
Sole purpose of PICUS is to provide PIC hours towards the 250hr PIC ATPL requirement, for the pilots who started flying as F/O with the airlines before reaching 250hr mark.
Whether only TRIs or any capt. can sign PICUS in logbook, depends on particular company's PICUS trainning programme, which has to be approved by the local CAA.

Ok, to clear this up: for the UK CAA requirements which are therefore approved by the JAA go to http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/LASORS_07.pdf and then look up page 60.
I know this is meant to be a rumour site, but it is good to have the truth now and then!

There are alot of big companies, mostly state airlines where FOs have to wait in around 10 years for and upgrade to the LHS, these pilots are flying widebody jets. My question is do these guys have a good chance of finding jobs else where, when your CV looks like this 4000 TT 3000 JET 100PIC..
I would also like to know how airlines look at this. Also, how do airlines in Europe look at this.
Say I have flown for 2 years on a Turbo-prop like a Dash-8 as an F/O and accumulate 1700 turboprop time , are my chances at getting a job with a LoCo or a major OK? Or would I need the PIC time, much like the majors like to see in the U.S?

1. The big ones, they are usually looking for type rated pilots. Generally speaking all of the LOCOs are looking for type rated pilots, but
2. There are still a few companies where you can get a job without type rating and in such a company your experience will be advantage.
Majors are usually looking for: "Experience commensurate with age". That`s true.
