WHat do they mean by 1200

i was looking at the regional requirements, and most ask 1200 total and 200 multi engine time, I do meet requirements i have little over 1400 hours but most of my time is not cross country, nor IFR, would that be a problem, or as long as have over 1200 with 200 ME , its enough for them?
or should i meet part 121 minimun requirements?


Thanksss

1200 total time is just that, TOTAL TIME. Doesn't matter (so to speak) if it was in a 150 or B200. It's total time. If that is their published minimum and you meet it, you're good to go as far as applying.

I can't say this enough...don't get "total time" confused with "Total time".

One concept will be correctly explained by many of the esteemed collegues from this bbs that possess instructional knowledge on such matters, the other will be explained by me now.

"Total time", is that majik moment that comes some day when you sit down for breakfast and you meant to ask the wife or that significant other to pour you a bowl of Total... but by accident, you slip and say "You ruined my life you freeking bi@tch!"

Part 121 minimum requirements??? There are no FAR mins to fly as an FO part 121 that I am aware of. (other than holding a comercial pilots license) If it says 1200 total and 200 multi, than that is there minimums. If it says 500 cross country than that is what they want to see as a minimum...if it doesn't, its not a minimum. Whatever it says it what it means....now, with that being said, I am sure if you ask individuals who have recently been hired at this particular regional that you are talking about, they could tell you what competitive times are. They are probably higher than the mins but if I were you, I would send and keep sending in my stuff to everywhere I wanted to go where I met the mins....Good luck to you.
 
Being that I have seen pilots for 121 airlines with 400 hours I don't believe there is any such thing as "part 121" minimums.

what the he11 do you think they mean? this manual may provide official Part 121 guidance, for interpreting FAA regs and Airline Ops Specs

you have 1400 hours with FAA Commercial rating and you are "not clear" on what the regionals mean by "1200 total time?"

You should have groomed yourself to already meet the 135.243 requirements, so that when you hit 1200, you fulfill whats outlined in that reg. I understand you are talking about 121 regionals, however you need to go ahead and fulfill Part 135 requirements anyway.

The regionals do not want 1000 of Cessna 152 and 200 in Aztec, at least not that I would think. That could get you on with Canceled-Check-Express, which is the normal stepping stone to the regionals. 500-1000 hours of Part 135 freight is very valuable for the regional hiring process

not to be sarcastic, but, well, I am a sarcastic guy. Get your tampon in a wad this early in your career and you are gonna have a tough time in aviation

later

Off the topic, but there is no reason to post your question on multiple forums on this site. I would have asked it in the regional forum alone.

As far as your time, 1200 total time is the sum of the "total duration of flight" columns in your logbook.

Most CFI applicants to the regionals have not that much x-c or IFR time either. I wouldn't worry about it.

Also, to satpak77 that told you that you can only fly checks with those hours, he is sorely mistaken. Regoinals like Xjet are hiring with 600 TT / 100 ME / 20 Actual IFR. Island Air with 800 TT / 200 ME. You can get hired with a Part 121 op.
