Next question, if someone were to go about it the debt free way,you know, slogging to and from the airport 5 mi through the snow and uphill both ways, are there generally accepted mins for small, part 135 operators?
Probably won't have time/energy/flexibility. Remember, after your initial year with a regional, and depending on how much flying you do, you should be making somewhere around 30K-35K. By the third year, you should be ready to upgrade to Capt. They make 50K+.
It all depends...
