Where it becomes a problem is if your four-day trip only credits 18-20 hours and SkyWest needs you to fly 88, you can't get away with just four trips for the month.
Many Thanks, Utah!
This YT dude lives in BOI.
He is 53. He has 125 total hours. Hasn’t flown since the 90’s.
He says he is going to Ohio soon to get all of his certificates and ratings “in four months tops” and says he will be at Skywest in a year flying out of BOI.
Then upgrade to CPT in a “year” after that- in BOI. Then “soon after, be a check airman training first officers.”
He says he’s doing all this because it’s a “part-time job” (14 days a month) making 200k a year.
I’ve tried to enlighten this fellow on reality- to little avail.
