Just for grins & giggles, here's the scoop on FAA SIC-only type ratings in the Part 121 world:
C. Part 121 Exclusion. On July 15, 2013, the FAA issued a final rule (78 FR 42323) requiring an SIC (first officer) in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to hold an ATP Certificate and airplane type rating for the aircraft to be flown. Part 121 requires an aircraft type rating not limited to SIC privileges for all crewmembers exercising SIC privileges (refer to part 121, § 121.436). Since an SIC type rating cannot be used in part 121 operations, a revision to § 61.55(e) removed the ability for a pilot to receive a pilot type rating limited to SIC privileges based on completion of a part 121 air carrier training program.
