Unless you were SP before getting hired or get the restriction removed later on, their PICs have the SIC required restriction. In those cases, A015 doesn’t apply and the SIC can legally log the time.
Also true.
I was more correcting the statement of what causes an operation to require an SIC. in other words, the 135 REGS require a SIC. All aircraft, all companies. OPSPEC A015 is the exception for aircraft with 9 passenger seats or less and a working autopilot in lieu of an SIC.
