F/O Jobs in China

As the (3)(i) explanation went... the given type rating would have been limited to operating the aircraft as a "cruise captain" at American Airlines... the said company on the said type.

I understand the concept of a cruise captain requiring a type rating but what part of the FAR makes the type rating company specific ?
 
How on earth is that legal? It's bad enough that they're allowed to issue SIC types for what amounts to a PIC type ride minus one or two procedures they're clearly leaving out to keep the workforce captive, but to just baldly assert that your training on the aircraft is only applicable to their operations? That's absurd. So the FAA is just blithely typing out "B-777 LIMITED TO AA OPERATIONS AT NEGOTIATED PAY RATES OR LESS"? WTF, OVER?

For some reason I'm not suprised though, its pretty smart thinking if you really think about it but still sucks.
