But then their are airlines that require it for the FO's because of international destinations, my take is since it is a required type to get, and like any type ride, must follow ATP PTS standards set by the FAA, so it seems to me it will, but double check for sure.....IT is a loggable training event, ussually with an airlines APD or even a FED in some cases, and can reset the clock on instrument currency, if signed off in the logbook, so again I personally dont see the issue. But then I had a FR about 3 months before I did my type so it was never a question for me.
