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.
