Com'on man, as long as regionals with jets are hiring and pay more the sjs crowd will follow... We have hear many around here say why should I fly a t-prop when I have ATP mins.

Read 121.436 - it becomes effective August 1, 2013. Bold added.
(a)(3) If serving as pilot in command, has 1,000 hours as second in command in operations under this part, pilot in command in operations under §91.1053(a)(2)(i) of this chapter, pilot in command in operations under §135.243(a)(1) of this chapter, or any combination thereof. For those pilots who are employed as pilot in command in part 121 operations on July 31, 2013, compliance with the requirements of this subparagraph is not required.
The interesting section is the following areas:
(b) No certificate holder may use nor may any pilot act as second in command unless the pilot holds an airline transport pilot certificate and an appropriate aircraft type rating for the aircraft being flown. A second-in-command type rating obtained under §61.55 does not satisfy the requirements of this section.
(d) Compliance with the requirements of this section is required by August 1, 2013. However, for those pilots who are employed as second in command in part 121 operations on July 31, 2013, compliance with the type rating requirement in paragraph (b) is not required until January 1, 2016.
With the new hires currently in class, do they fall under the currently employed or will they be required to have an appropriate type rating as they will not be qualified to act as second in command until after July 31?
