That's the way I'd read it, but I could be mistaken.

There is a credit for up to 500 hours of military, multi-engine, multi-pilot, turbine. Single-seat fighter guys are SOL.

Check out craigslist, my sim partner and I got a heck of a deal on an apartment (need a car). We found a guy that had a finished basement with two rooms, a bathroom and a living room. Well worth driving my car up there. All tolled I think I spent <$1,000 for the whole time I was there (over 2 years ago). You could also check airbnb. You might be able to negotiate a monthly rate with someone.

There has been nothing official telling us we are losing our ZEDs. Purely speculation. Same thing with us losing our guaranteed interview. I'll believe it when and if it happens.

All depends if your pitcher is half full or half empty I guess.

Citation PIC is good to go. It's a turbo jet. Flying a multi-engine turbo prop or other prop with the seat restrictions above is not.

I might have to get an FAA LOI on this. The way I read the reg...it doesn't matter if its a turbojet, but that it has to have either 10 seats or more OR be involved in a commuter operation.

I may be wrong, it's been known to happen. :-)

By the way I read the regs, the 3,500+ hours of 135 PIC I have is useless for upgrade because it was for a freight operation, which isn't included in 135.243(a)(1).

Not a huge issue for me personally since I'd prefer to wait until I can hold MSP CA and by then I'll have more than the required 1,000 hrs 121 SIC anyway.

Having flown the thing a scant six months, I gotta say that 1,000+ hours learning the Jungle Bus from the right seat before jumping into the left isn't the worst thing in the world.

I presume MSP will stay senior on captain side, I know there a lot of pilots either already upgraded or about to upgrade that live in MSP and will surely keep MSP our senior captain domicile. There also quite a few LAX captains that will go back to MSP when they can hold a line their.
