Very Light Jets

2 most dangerous words in aviation: Owner-pilot. Even more scary than the 300 hour regional wunderkids.

ONLY because they have a captain to babysit their a$$.

Right now the insurance requirement for our SR20 is higher than some regional mins. I am a CSIP and I have seen many people with deep pockets that will get themselves an aircraft and get into a lot of trouble. I don't want them on Cirrus(es) not alone on VLJs. Like one of the posters above, some of us will get really lucky in terms of getting typed and flying for 'the man'.

Regionals get away for two reasons:
- Capt. on the left seat.
- deep pockets..
