Does UPS require 1000TPIC?
If you were rated in a B747-400 would it make a difference?

Yes, they will not waive it.
My friend flies MD11s at Gemini (he's an FO) but he left his previous airline with ~850 hours of part 121 pic time. At the time he thought he’d be furloughed anyway so he left to fly heavies instead. He has 4 line pilot and 2 mgmt recommendations. A few months ago he went to a job fair hoping that his recommendations and his heavy, international experience would help him “by-pass” the 1,000 hour PIC requirement. He was told that although they like his international experience he will need an additional 150 hours of PIC time no matter what.
So he’s looking into some kind of part time gig where he can fly turboprops in the left seat while he is maintaining his other job.
