Marquis/NetJets

Actually if there was a problem with the FAA with one of these flights--there would not be any suspension of any pilot licenses--the only possible action would be against NetJets 135 Certificate.
The company designates what the flights are--ie Part 135 or Part 91.

Couldn't disagree more Chuck. If the FAA finds out that a for-hire flight was flown without full compliance with Part 135, they're coming after both pilots with guns blazing. Sure, they'll burn the company too, if that's any solace.

Been there, done that!

Yep, and the NASA form won't help. You may side-step a monetary judgement, but the felony will mean a suspension of your meal ticket. The felony also means the TSA can pull your pilot certificate. New rules in the last 90 days.

Fly safe.

What are marquis flights?

 

[fracman]

Marquis sells 25 hours worth of flight time over a period of 12 months requiring no ownership of an aircraft. To facilitate this they contract with NetJets and supposedly use their 135 certificate to dispatch these flights.

Here's their web site www.marquis.com

Actually, it's "Cheap Charter." You can recover fuel and operating costs.

I have flown countless Marquis flights and ALL have been designated 135!
Why would you slander a topic like this on a public forum?

Slander??

I have no clue what you're talking about. I have heard that Marquis initially dispatched everything Part 91, then changed to Part 135. It was a curiosity question, nothing else. If these are Part 135 trips with 135 restrictions then the Marquis "owner" will be unable to access airports that don't meet 135 runway/weather reporting requirements. If some of the flights are selectively dispatched under Part 91 (not saying this is the case), then the crew should make sure they don't get caught in the middle.

The truth is always a perfect defense, unless you are talking to the Federal Government, and then one tends to be guilty until proven innocent.
