It seems at the present time we are only letting SIC build their time in Baron and that the limit for how many SIC's that we will take on has been reached. There is some talk about letting SIC's build time in the Navajo, but there is also some pressure from flight management on recruitment to fill the training classes with PIC qualified applicants. The SIC program will not go away anytime soon, but there might be somewhat of a break to let some of the current SIC's move on.

They started a class today and I was told only one did not meet the 135 PIC minimums.
