Read 121.436 - it becomes effective August 1, 2013. Bold added.
The interesting section is the following areas:
With the new hires currently in class, do they fall under the currently employed or will they be required to have an appropriate type rating as they will not be qualified to act as second in command until after July 31?
From what I understand, ANYONE who comes into training, whether previously typed on the plane from elsewhere (Colgan, Mesaba, corp company, etc..) will be getting an ATP and/or a full type rating depending on what they need. It's great learning this plane, along with the captain flows, callouts, and profiles, and the FO flows and callouts, plus profiles... good shiznit right thurr...
All the FO's will do a type ride in the left seat, and then right after their checkride with their certificate in hand, they'll switch over to the right seat for 1 hour, work with their sim instructor and just get acclimated to the right seat FO stuff (flows, procedures, etc...) so when they hit the line they know *** they're doing... sorta... This should be interesting...
