Since most of them are single pilot certified aircraft, they would need to be part 135 w/ no AP, or op specs require a SIC. Im unsure of the 1900D, but all other King Airs are single pilot. The citation bravos are all Single pilot, but the Citation X and the EMB-135 need two pilots. likely typed as well.
Not trying to start a war here, just saying what I was told....single pilot required on everything except the X and EMB, so the SICs log the time because they are required by the insurance. Swear to God this is what I was told. Didn't sound legit to me, but again, just sayin'. Oh, and paying FOs these rates isn't legit to me either...its a shame, really.
