I’ve been part time at an outstation for over a year and before Covid I only had Home Standby once. Even then halfway through they changed it and had me get a Rental from my base and drive to another airport. However I did hear of an FO who had been here a year and was still had under 100 hours because they kept him mainly Home Standby at his outstation base. That’s rare but it happens.

The reason the FOs don't fly the passenger legs is because of a directive we got from our POI. So to answer your question you are going to have to ask the FAA. As for safety briefs that is done by the PIC because the PIC is the last to board, so after the door is closed the PIC will do the face to face brief.

Yes it was a recent change but it didn't come from management it came from the POI who used his FAA authority to make it happen

His reasoning is that the annual FO checkride is not an IPC so he says that FOs aren't current to fly passengers under IFR onl VFR. Yes that is crazy reasoning and against everything that I've done previously in my aviation career but he has the power of the FAA behind hom.

This is such a non issue here. FOs still fly as much as captains, they can upgrade quick, it's a non issue.

The checkride is ok, it's the 6 month RFT done by an IP, and not a check airman (i.e. not a checkride) which doesn't count as an IPC per 135.297. it's the old acting vs sole manipulator PIC grey area in our operation. FOs can still fly empty legs IFR & VFR, and passenger legs VFR.
