--- AFW pilots also have to do a 500 differences course (training is in the 600) which takes one day of ground and 3 sim sessions
- Due to cargo configuration, flights are 1.5 to 2 hours away, you sit for about 1.5 to 2 hours to unload/load, then fly back
- Current routes: flights from AFW to - Des Moines, Kansas City, Mobile, and Omaha.
- All 121 operations require you to meet times listed in 122.436 to upgrade, regardless of passenger or cargo ops.
AFW:
Are cargo operations operated under 121 or 135? If 121, then that means a crew member upon reaching his/her 65th birthday for now, would have to come off of the flight deck...correct?
