PIC type rating requirement for SIC

PIC type rating requirement for SIC
I posted this in the Major section but it is probably more relevant here.
Did anyone else get this memo?
Effective this month CFR 14 FAR 121.436(b) states:
"No certificate holder may use nor may any pilot act as second in command unless the pilot holds an airline transport pilot certificate and appropriate type rating for the aircraft being flown. A second-in-command type rating obtained under 61.55 does not satisfy the requirements of this section."
CFR 14 FAR 121.436(d) states:
"Compliance with the requirements of this section is required by August 1, 2013. However, for those pilots who are employed as second in command in part 121 operations on August 31, 2013, compliance with the type rating requirement in paragraph (b) is not required until January 1, 2016."
Has this already been discussed on here? Looks like another hurdle for 121 ops.

OK. I didn't realize that. I wonder if the majors have been doing the same. It has been irrelevant at SWA until the Airtran deal.

For the past two years all of the regionals have been giving pic types when the FO's go thru recurrent. If you don't have a pic type now your not legal
