Either you need to recheck the captain qual worksheet or the company needs to change the worksheet on pilot lounge if it's outdated bc your info is inconsistent with what's on there. And no 1000sic doesn't satisfy the " (3) Total PIC: Must be equal to or greater than 1,000 per Mesa CBA" requirement when it clearly says .5 credit for SIC hours towards that requirement. Pilot lounge/bidding hub/captain qual worksheet. What am I missing? If it's a CBA thing it's not something that can just be arbitrarily dropped, right?
-2500 total time (1500+1000=2500, right?)
-1000 121 sic
-1000 TOTAL PIC (not to be confused with 135/91(k) multi engine pic which is a separate box.)
If you read it again, you'll see that of the five boxes, three criteria must be met.

I just heard a new hire on reserve complaining about not having upgraded yet. The guys is like a September hire....
Then this clown goes onto talking about how he's almost at 2k total time and soon will be competitive for getting hired at United.
Needless to say I'm not visiting the crew rooms anymore.

Put a guy on reserve in PHX for 1-year (ppl are holding it out of new hire now), throw him in a left seat exactly 1,000 hours later, and he's done what? Maybe 1 landing on a contaminated runway? Maybe 3-5 approaches at the end of a max FDP in blowing snow at 1600 RVR at night? Maybe a handful of diversions/holds where he actually had to pay attention to his fuel status? How many go-arounds/real emergency situations has he ecountered? One? Zero?
I'm terrified of the current experience level at which Mesa allows people to upgrade--let's not go any lower.
I cringe(d) every time I had to fly with one of those 7 year PHX FO to 3 month IAD CAs because they just don't have the experience of deicing, winter ops, RVRs, etc.
You could tell the entire trip, (especially if there was weather) they were barely keeping their head above water.
This upgrade who had spent his whole time in PHX told me he had shot an approach maybe twice in the last two years in PHX system.
Another had zero understanding of reduced takeoff mins.

I mean how could you question a guy who has no life and lives in his parents basement feverishly away posting on APC?

What upgrade time would you expect for a guy with 3000 MIL time of which he has 500 PIC in MEJ multi crew aircraft that can be counted toward the 1000hr 121 time? Bottom line he would need 500hrs of 121 SIC time to be over the CA mins? From training to completion of IOE? To being eligible and have the seniority # for CA?
