Official ATP rule - rumors?
#482
So are all 121 FO's required to hold a current 1st class medical now? Gotten a couple offers but class dates pushed back, unable to start training due to waiting on the FAA on a deferred 1st class renewal.
As I understand it, certain carriers previously would let you let your first class lapse for 6 months since you're only exercising SIC privileges. Technically now you're exercising ATP cert privileges, so you need a 1st class but you're still SIC, so you don't…??
I've read this thread and a few others (RickAir777 had some good info)and unless I missed it (very possible) I haven't found any conclusive guidance about this.
