However, a scheduled airline operating turbine powered aircraft usually operates under part 121. I could see an operator removing 5 seats on a 55 seat aircraft to avoid the need for a second flight attendant for example, but changing the configuration to qualify for different operating certificate may raise some eyebrows.
I guess we'll soon find out.

That means for sure removing the seats, and probably it has to be fairly permanent. I don't see the FAA signing off on this at all.

[QUOTE=Ultralight;1589367]Yea I guess you could budget for around $5,000 for your CFI, MEI, & CFII. The way things are going now you could make a lot more money instructing and could get over a thousand hours in a year if you put the effort in. $25,000 a year at $25 an hour, v's the roughly $20,000 Lakes would pay with per diem. The $5,000 difference would cover your CFI tickets. No 6 weeks without a paycheck during training, and no training contract either.
I'm not sure what would look more competitive on a resume. 1,000 hours part 135 turbine SIC v's 1,000 instructing, but I guess once you meet ATP mins you could pretty much choose your regional regardless.[/QUOT
From what i hear the regionals like to see multi turbine multi crew on the resume
