- For the Second-in-Command position the posting lists 2,500 hours total pilot time, 1,000 hours fixed-wing multi-engine PIC, and 500 hours multi-engine total, while a separate PIC line lists 250 hours in type.
- As published, the two multi-engine figures conflict — 1,000 hours of multi-engine PIC cannot be logged against only 500 hours of total multi-engine time — so the exact hour minimums require confirmation with the employer before publication.
