Recently completed an interview at Southwest and the interviewer was befuddled with the concept of an "SIC type"...I wrote this response to someone else that was questioning the "SIC type" so I thought i'd start another thread.
found this on-line.
The final rule requires pilots who
plan to fly outside U.S. airspace and
land in foreign countries to obtain the
SIC pilot type rating. We also
recommend having the SIC pilot type
rating when flying over or into airspace
controlled by a foreign civil aviation
authority that requires it. This would
include not only flights to foreign
destinations, but also flights where there
is the potential to land in a foreign
country (for example, a flight from
Newark, NJ to Anchorage, AK that
crosses Canadian airspace could result
in an emergency landing in Canada).
