If that is the case, FAA records will show the completion of the appropriate check-ride (PTS items), and this may possibly be fixed by licensing action only
awair,
Hard to say if the items checked on the SIC rating ride at the time were identical to the PIC. It was a formal Part 121 training program with whatever comes with that. It was almost 15 years ago so there's some doubt if the training records for a former employee even exist. I doubt the employer would be in any frame of mind to dig for them.
I don't know if FAA records for this specific rating ride would be available from the Feds.
The SIC rating was placed on a CPL because the person getting the rating didn't have ATP mins at the time (pre 1500-hour rule). And, it was early in the regulatory mandate to type rate SICs in Part 121 so I don't know if a person
DID have ATP mins he would've been issued a full PIC type rating anyway if employed as a new-hire F/O.
Just an interesting legal exercise, I guess. The person in question is sitting around at his legacy waiting for the ax to fall after Oct. 1st and was just wondering about this issue. He's not too interested in av forums so I offered to kick it around on his behalf. I appreciate your advice...thanks.
