Hey guys, sorry to get off track. I just had my Phone Interview and I was told from the gal on the other end that there is a 10yr upgrade time and it might get lower with the new TA.
Is that 10yr upgrade fact or fake news? And do y’all think it will stay at 10yrs or get lower? Thanks and happy Holidays.

Supposedly the FAA is re-writing the 135 age and duty time rules to look more like 121, it's being pushed to also closer reflect ICAO. We'll see. One thing I definitely am seeing is older guys getting displaced and saying they are passing on another type rating, I know several who are just waiting for the TA bonus before leaving.

I really wish that was true.
It would be really interesting if a 135 duty re-write made earning IBI money nearly impossible.

There is no positive link, to be clear. Pilot numbers are down around 400 from 2015, they will further decline without operational issue, because of the IBI.
Look at 2019 hiring numbers versus attrition. For all intent and purpose, the net gain for pilots was almost nothing, like less than 10 pilots. If management can get the current crop of donkeys that will never retire, to pull more load, they don’t need to grow.
Management really nailed this one and the pilot group has no idea what hit them, but also, the pilot group has a history of ignoring the big picture for some quick cash.

But when it comes to the 135/91K re-write, I can only say one thing: Be careful what you wish for.

And before we get our resident NJA cheerleaders in here saying "but you may only go .1 or .2 off on the numbers"....think large scale: 2700 pilots at .2, around 10 days per month.....that's big money they save. They're making out like bandits on this one.

I'll take trip pay over no pay. Buddy just ended his week with approximately 2,000 IBI dollars.
So much angst over not getting block or better, when we have been flying for decades with zero extra dollars for busting ass.

So you think this is really going to end up being a potentially out of the blue, 40,000 dollar raise for every pilot? Do you just hope that, or do you really truely believe that?

Why are all of your arguments predicated on putting words in others' mouths?
