You meant 91 right?

Fractionals are not charter. Although we can and do operate under part 135. A person off the street cannot just walk up and say "take me to ***." The ONLY passengers are owners in the program or prospective owners on a demo flight. Without getting into details, an owner must choose whether his flights are to be part 91K or 135.

Yea, got my "parts" mixed up:D

OK you guy's are legit, are some fractionals, just working around the regs to keep pilots under 91 when they should be operating under 135 or 121??:eek:

As far as I know, the "major" fractional operators (QS, CW, FX, CS) are all under 135 or 91K now (post 9/11). After 9/11/01 when 135/121 operators were allowed back in the sky, NetJets was the only frac flying at 100%, because we had always been 100% 135 trained and certified.

Eagleplt - please add me to your list. Thanks...Baja.

I was in the same boat as eglplt and made the same decision. NJA here I come!! Flex appears to be a great company and the HR staff was great as well, but I just was more impressed with NJA. Besides, you cant deny that the contract isnt the best in the industry right now! Good luck to all.

Ok, I am new here and not an airline pilot. It was hard to get through the acronyms but I think I did it. Why do you want to leave ASA? Thats my dream airline.

If I were just getting into aviation and ready to make the move to the regionals then ASA would be my dream job also. I have been in the airlines for 9 years and 6 at ASA. It is time to move on. There is a point where it just doesnt pay enough anymore for the amount of BS that goes with the job. I love flying and the best part of my job at ASA is when the gear is in the well and the door is closed. Once I get on the ground in ATL then the inefficiencies begin. Chalk that up with a difficult commute to DFW and you will have enough reasons to move on. NetJets here I come!!

I'm not sure if that answered my question or not, but thanks.

I cannot wait until I have the time to apply........
