In your first case they would be worthless to the company without a type. In our second case the new reg says employed as a SIC on August 1. If you're in training are you a SIC? I could make the point if you're on training pay you're not a SIC. The reality is, why spool someone up to 95% and then send them out knowing you'll have to bring them back for a type ride in 6 months or a year.
