Looks like it is not automatic and you have to ask for it and have it placed in the back of your log book as a light review. Wonder how many CFI's think it automatically does and are walking around without a BFR.

I'm still not buying it, if you sent that email to someone else in the FAA, I suspect the answer will vary greatly from that. All that is is one interpretation (a poor one IMO). Airwaves posted the FAR earlier, and it's quite clear to me.
Furthermore, the FAR (paragraph g) specifically mentions that a CFI renewal counts.... the idea that the original practical wouldn't count, but the renewal does is obsurd. I suggest asking an area DE for their opinion.

Nothing in company email, no requests for permanent base volunteers... I'd say it's a complete rumor. And for my two cents Airwaves seems to like to stir the pot...
