Regionals receiving PIC Type Rating?
At American Eagle, every First Officer is not only receiving an ATP, but also receiving a PIC Type Rating. I have heard comments that American Eagle is the only regional airline giving their FO's a PIC type rating.
Is this true? I can't figure out why. It doesn't seem (to me) that upgrades are imminent... your thoughts? Any upgrade, even with his/her PIC type rating, still will attend upgrade ground school and a sim session as normal. So why are they doing this? I think its GREAT, but can't figure it out. |

Sorry ASAnotASAP, but you said nope. Nope as in your response to "Is this true?", or response to "Eagle is the only airline?"

Part of the ATP rule is that EVERYONE has to have a PIC type... We all know the SIC types are worthless anyways...

Where getting them at PSA as well
