Republic type ride

[mbw]

For those in the know...does Republic fully type the new hires on the 170/175? or SIC only?

 

[RedheadCFI]

SIC Only... for now.

 

[The General]

Anyone know how many in the may 1 republic class?

 

[paid4training]

Don't know, but I may have a shot at the next one if my buddy will send me the referral letter so I can submit it!!

SIC Only... for now.

Is there reason to believe this policy will change in the near future?

 

[bigshooter107]

Yes, congress is going to require it..

 

[thepotato232]

Well that's just dandy. Didn't know the new rules did away with SIC types as well.

Sic types are worthless, u do almost the exact same ride for the full type.

Agreed. The link below might help explain more (FAA Notice N8900.184):

PIC types are pretty much worthless as well, unless you log some actual PIC time. IMHO there's no reason to particularly care whether you get an SIC or PIC type. What goes in your logbook is the only thing that matters.

I agree they're worthless, which is why I was happy to discover they were going by the wayside. Thank you for the link, kmox.

You would be wrong, if you wanted to go corporate and fly something like a E-170 or 190 in the corporate world, the type may be the difference between getting the job and not getting the job.

Maybe you're right. I don't think there's all that many E-170/190 corporate gigs though. And frankly, if the person who's doing the hiring cares about the type, they're an idiot because it means nothing in reality.
