If, however, a PIC type rating was attainable out of initial training, it would help some pilots move on earlier as they could LOG PIC time anytime they were the Sole Manipulator of the flight controls, even though they aren't Acting as PIC. This logged PIC time would open doors up for some mid seniority pilots to move on sooner.

From: CRJ-700 FO
It is true that there are quite a few Captains at the top who are not going anywhere until they can't pass their medical or retire, which is an unknown percentage of approximately 600 pilots, if I remember the numbers correctly. This does mean that the remaining 800 Captains would have to move on relatively quickly (assuming no growth) for most of the FO's to have a shot at moving on. If, however, a PIC type rating was attainable out of initial training, it would help some pilots move on earlier as they could LOG PIC time anytime they were the Sole Manipulator of the flight controls, even though they aren't Acting as PIC. This logged PIC time would open doors up for some mid seniority pilots to move on sooner, which would result in movement for most of the FO's, and could actually result in a lower overall operating cost since the average FO salary would go down with the average FO seniority. Just a thought.
I think I read that you are hoping to start class here eventually. Why don't you revisit that question once you get out on the line...

In the Part 121 world it isnt acceptable to log PIC time when you arent truly acting as PIC. The PIC signs a flight release for each flight, and this is when you can log Part 121 PIC. I know the regs are hazy, and lots of corp/part 135 guys do it differently, but trust me. You dont want to go logging time in the right seat of an airliner as PIC time even if you do have a type rating.

Not to sound rude, but the fact that you are even suggesting this makes it clear that you have a lot to learn about Eagle, and the regional industry as a whole.

As far as what to say in an interview; always tell the truth. That way you don't have to keep track of what you said.
