This is the stuff I am talking about. If an SIC is a full type rating, then why would such language be necessary from the FAA stating how all SIC's must be "type rated" by said date? The only reason I push this is due to having this same discussion with guys that got hired at United. They both said since I am only SIC that I should NOT check yes to the type rated section. I would be MORE then happy to be proven wrong here. I just do not want to have that uneasy feeling if I do get an interview to have them say... "says you are typed in your current plane, but we only see SIC on your certificate. I imagine I am making it more of an issue than it should be. Just interesting to see both sides of the argument.
