Captain on a PC-12
#21
Yea, I always thought Captain was not just a two pilot crew, but an airline two pilot crew. If you don't sign a flight release for a 135 or 121 airliner as PIC- you are not a captain! I was not a "captain" on the corporate aircraft or GA aircraft I flew; I was the PIC. I think people throw the term "captain" around too much.

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.
