(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.

(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.

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...

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.

I just know how things tend to fall through the cracks

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.

...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...

Reason I ask is... the people that have the type (like myself in a few weeks) don't need to do the ATP or PIC ride... it's just a recurrent/transiton type event that won't take nearly as long as someone doing the whole transition course, which saves $$$. So, financially if I'm understanding the captain upgrade right, it'd be cheaper ($$$ wise here) to upgrade someone who already has their type, and just got 1,000hrs 121/135 than someone who has 1,000+ but no type... I know Silver is all about the $$$ pinching.
Luckily, that's not how it will happen. Reference sandrich's post.
