I don't think that it depends on whether your plane can safely circle to land. I think it depends if you actually conduct a circle to land maneuver on your check ride.

This is probably becuase we do not fly the Bro outside the US.

SIC type rating has the same value as a library card, it's not going to get you anywhere with the ladies

Correct. Many turboprop airline pilots do train for circle to land, since they operate into smaller airports which may not have the greatest selection of IAPs.

I'm not trying to argue exactly where it comes from but I have yet to see a jet be approved for anything other than VMC circle. I'm guessing it has something to do with money....like CAT II and CAT III

Eagle did the circle in the sim on the CRJ to avoid having the limitation on the certificate. It is up the training department.

That doesn't make a difference. It has nothing to do with whether the plane can safely circle to land as the original poster said. It depends on whether the maneuver is conducted during the checkride.
