Yours is even less right when you're looking at the details. It's about employment on July 31, not before. Don't necessarily need an ATP on that date either.
"d) Compliance with the requirements of this section is required by August 1, 2013. However, for those pilots who are employed as second in command in part 121 operations on July 31, 2013, compliance with the type rating requirement in paragraph (b) is not required until January 1, 2016."
