EDIT: Side note #2... How many street hire captains WON'T meet the 1000hr Part 121 time new requirement at Silver?
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? |

Just to go back to this for a second...

All the FO's will do a type ride in the left seat, and then right after their checkride with their certificate in hand, they'll switch over to the right seat for 1 hour, work with their sim instructor and just get acclimated to the right seat FO stuff (flows, procedures, etc...) so when they hit the line they know *** they're doing... sorta... This should be interesting... |

It depends how the FAA defines "employed." I can imagine it means that if they are hired before August 1st, they're not going to be required to hold a full type rating before January 1, 2016. That's just my interpretation.
Probably the one thing that needs clarification from the company. Wouldn't hurt for someone to find out and "publish" (not on APC) the employee number of the FO where ATP and type are required. |

From what I understand, ANYONE who comes into training, whether previously typed on the plane from elsewhere (Colgan, Mesaba, corp company, etc..) will be getting an ATP and/or a full type rating depending on what they need.
I just know how things tend to fall through the cracks :D |

Current pilots serving as an SIC are not required to have a full type until January of 2016. Anybody hired after August 1, 2013 will be required to have both the ATP and type rating.
Just trying to keep up with where the break point is on needing the type to serve as SIC. Since the current FOs had to go fly a Seminole for their ATP ride rather than do a ATP/type ride in the Saab, we are going to have a pilot group that has some FOs with a type and ones that don't. Don't want to be in trouble because I flew with an FO that was supposed to have the type rating and somehow fell through the cracks. |

I haven't had honest time to read the whole CBA contract, but... does it mention about an order to captain upgrade, or is it just on an as needed basis depending on who bids for it?
...but when has this company ever followed the CBA. I believe that was part of the reasoning behind not typing guys for the ATP, because they'd just get typed during upgrade. Silver just got lucky with this whole grandfathering of the PIC type requirement. Silver Airways- Save a penny now, spend a dime later... |
