I was captain. Now I downgraded. Now I no captain. Now I get off this forum to go find another job to actually pay the bills. In other words, go fly the pilatus, and consider not coming to the airlines. Enjoy life instead.

What do you consider a part 135 airliner, never heard that one. Listen when it comes down to it you can get to an Airline and probably a Major if you so desire no matter what your background is, you just have to have the right connections. Granted right now it may take you many more years then we all thought it would. Guess we may all have to pay our dues like thousands before us.

B-1900, EMB-120, etc. Many airlines operate under part 135, not 121. Scheduled airline flying, not charter. When I was at Continental Express the 1900 and Brasilia were 135 and the ATR's were 121. I think the airlines did it to save money. They can fly the pilots more, for example.
