Minimums at Fratcionals

[gutshotdraw]

Didn't say I don't enjoy flying for a living. I do. But aviation is a STUPID business. Ever heard the line: How do you make a small fortune in aviation? Start with a large one. Over the entire lifetime of the industry, commercial airlines are BILLIONS in the hole.

Aviation is an exciting, romantic field of endeavor. But from a purely business standpoint, it has an historically poor return on capital invested. Even the most successful aviation companies like Southwest have a poor ROI compared to many other industries.

Actually historically, airline industry as a whole in the US has yet to make money if you count losses and profits since the beginning, I think.

How set in stone is the 250 instrument at NJA?

My guess would be that competitive minimums just went way up!

Yeah, timing is everything!

I know for a fact, it is set in stone. NJA offers no waivers for its minimums.
