They did when they got the types fee with the aircraft they bought in the beginning. They don't now.

I don't think its too common in the industry to type FO's anyways.

What the heck happened to him after Big Sky? With that logic and "leadership" style, though, it sounds like he's prepping for the McDonald's Junior Management Training Program.

Ed: I just read back a little more.

You only have to have an SIC type and that is what you will get at airlines that serve Canada and Mexico. An SIC type and 35 cents will get you a phone call.

You are correct.

But its not a full type rating, its an SIC type. Its pretty much a paper exercise and not very valuable outside the company. I've got a few myself and the FSDO didn't even charge me to process the paperwork.
