A good friend of mine graduated from Embry-Riddle with high marks and now works for Flight Safety as a sim pilot. While he only has about 350 total time and only 25 or 30 hours of actual multiengine time, he has several hundred hours flying in the sims with Flight Safety in structured training environment. In fact, they gave him a full PIC type rating on the Falcon 900EX and a SIC type in the Falcon 50. He'd like to leave the sim world and go to a real airline. How likely is it that someone in his position could get a waiver on posted flight time minimums because of his jet experience and gain employment with American Eagle or another carrier??

I'll bite. So he's a "hired gun" that flies right seat and acts as a co-pilot for the people going through PIC initial or recurrent. He rarely touches the controls but he knows the emergency checklists inside and out. So he should get lower minimums why? Just b/c he is trainable in a sim?

Last I checked the 900 and the 50 were the exact same type rating.

There, three pages!! :D
