HR5900 was the law signed by Congress so everything in there is a certainty. What I posted above was the NPRM, which is only proposed. It mentioned all FOs having a type rating, which I take to mean PIC type. Word is that more progress on this NPRM won't come out til next year. A lot of airlines are preparing for the most restrictive language and giving FOs a PIC type.
