If you believe this you are sadly mistaken,
If you are a 91 bizjet operator with a decent rep, it is very easy to show up at the FSDO and get the SIC ticket with minimal records.
This may have been the case before 9/11 but I can assure you it is not now. Part of the SIC type rating reasoning was for security, it allows the feds to vet and see who is flying any aircraft (N-reg) that requires a type rating as well as increase crew safety following the Payne Stewart accident.
