I agree, but more folks are paying for PIC types than SIC types, which is why they are bribing kids to sit right seat.
Even 61.55 training is basis for an SIC type, but you don't need to send someone to flight safety to accomplish that, you can easily do it in house (unless your insurance requires a more thoroughly trained SIC).
Also a lot of operators just give all their pilots a PIC type, even if they are initially flying in the right seat.
