We do file IFR where ever we go, but its a scheduled airline, we used to be required to have two pilots. They got a waiver from the FAA to operate single pilot. Anyway from my companies NPH "the company employs pilots and pilot interns who are not ATP qualified with the intention of having these pilots train and accumulate the necessary flight time to become PIC qualified in the future" I am going to ask around to further my knowledge on the topic today at work. Its just a cessna 402 so no type rating is required, i dont know

i would like to instruct in a busier environment, where more charter opportunities are available.
