As far as the original question goes though, the true SICs that Nicholas Air hires are not type rated in the Phenoms. All of the CAs at NA are single pilot certified. While many of the flights are conducted with two type rated pilots, their 135 OP Specs do not require two pilots. The only time a second pilot could log SIC time there is with an inop auto pilot. And they would have to have a type rating or 61.55 sign off or SIC type rating to log that time as SIC.
Well if the SIC's are not rated, yes you are right, they CANNOT log the time, if the PIC is Single Pilot. If the PIC is single pilot and the SIC is typed on the airplane as SIC or PIC, an per OPS you need a SIC you can log SIC time.
If NA, is set up the way you explained, well that is a NO GO place, for anyone under 3000 hours, because if you can be a Captain by the time you get in, you wont be moving anywhere close to CA TT mins there.
