Picking up clearance

[Windsor]

windsor:

didn't you have a release with you? are you part 121 or 135?

when you said our dispatch, i know 121 requires dispatch, but 135 is self dispatch. sure , there may be a company person acting like one, but it is a psuedo dispatch and not the one requiring you have a relase in your hand
with: flight plan ,min fuel, weather for destination, alternate and payload,

We have 2 sides to our company, 121 and 135 so we have licensed dispatchers working for us. On the 135 side we are not required to have a dispatch release, but dispatch handle's all our flight planning for us and will send us a Jepp. flight plan that has everything you stated above.

We hold our IFR to the ground, regardless of the weather. When we're departing, we can get our clearance in the air, weather permitting. If the airport we're going into does not report weather, then we must be able to take off VFR and get the clearance in the air. That one can bite ya if you're not careful.
