135.243(a)(1) -What I am saying is that I believe that they make it clear below:
under §91.1053(a)(2)(i) or §135.243(a)(1) require an ATP certificate, are multicrew operations,
and generally use turbine aircraft and therefore are the most applicable to part 121 operations.
I think they make it clear when they say that they ARE MULTICREW OPS
(1) Of a turbojet airplane, of an airplane having a passenger-seat configuration, excluding each crewmember seat, of 10 seats or more, or of a multiengine airplane in a commuter operation as defined in part 119 of this chapter, unless that person holds an airline transport pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings and, if required, an appropriate type rating for that airplane.
91.1053(a)(2)(i)
(a) No program manager or owner may use any person, nor may any person serve, as a pilot in command or second in command of a program aircraft, or as a flight attendant on a program aircraft, in program operations under this subpart unless that person has met the applicable requirements of part 61 of this chapter and has the following experience and ratings:
2) For multi-engine turbine-powered fixed-wing and powered-lift aircraft, the following FAA certification and ratings requirements:
(i) Pilot in command—Airline transport pilot and applicable type ratings.
I must be missing the part where either of those regulations mentions anything about 2 pilots.
Lets see turbojet - requires 2 crew? Maybe. Depends on the jet, what opspecs, what's installed and what's working.
10 seats or more - nope
multiengine commuter operation - nope
