    FAA Part 135

    A few questions about running a 135: 1. I know it takes a long time to file for and get a certificate for a 135 from the FSDO, so if I want to acquire one can I buy out owner and put my name on certificate as new owner or would I need to resubmit for certificate after purchase? 2. Many...

    Norwegian

    NAI just got the green light to compete on transatlantic routes into US. So they go worldwide to get the lowest cost flight crew. But you get what you pay for. Maybe History will repeat itself. Peoples Express and Continental (Lorenzo era) went down with this model. Are we looking at the...

    Major Airline Captains, would you recommend career to your son/daughter?

    Overall, the career still has its good with bad but is it getting any worse? Positives: Pay at majors is at all time highs. Pilots are home about 12 to 16 days per months. Two pilot crew seems to be the standard now. The actual job is great work. Negatives: Lose your job due to furlough...

    Norwegian Air vs ALPA

    The Norwegian Air business model to bring in crews at half the price of legacy carriers for transatlantic service tees up the Walmart model for pilot pay vs ALPA (We fight for a decent wage for our pilots) battle. Looks like you battle millions of customers looking for lower fares vs ALPA...

    Single plane single pilot 135

    What is the quickest way to acquire a single plane single pilot 135 cert? 1. Buy existing 135 cert? I have heard that is quick but some FSDO's won't allow you to transfer owners without them basically recertifying the whole operation. 2. Go through the FSDO and fill out the app? I have...

    Buy 135 Cert and change base of operations

    If a 135 certificate is bought (including aircraft), can the base of operation be changed by the new owner? For example, if a 135 cert is bought that had been operated from Tampa, be changed to Los Angeles by the new owner? I assume you would work through your local FSDO to do that. Thanks...

    Shot at a legacy

    Majors guys: Does a pilot stand a better chance getting to a legacy/major: 1. 1000 PIC on a 1900 2. 1000 PIC on a 135 Learjet 3. 2000 hours SIC in an RJ (because rj captains are sitting tight) Thanks, Check Six

    1000 PIC Turbine

    In light of the demand up and supply down of pilots, is it likely that majors, nationals and cargo that start at 50/hr or better will hire pilots with less than 1000 PIC Turbine? I am looking at jumping back into regional or 135 to pick up my 1000 PIC turbine (already have 400 FO turbojet)...
