Great Lakes' Part 135 plan
#361
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.

Hmmm, this sounds like a troll. The regs are pretty clear that it's not a simple matter of cutting of ticket sales at 9. You actually have to only have a "maximum seating configuration" of 9 passenger seats or less (and a payload of less than 7500 pounds). 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.

Lakes wanted to rope off the 10 seats and the Feds rejected them, telling them they had to actually remove the seats. At minimum hopefully the FAA holds to this and causes lakes to invest a lot of money in Mx time to remove these seats...etc. which hopefully doesn't make financial seance for great mistakes and they give up the whole idea and just close the doors

[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

That can't be right. The airlines were mandated by Congress back in 97 I think to one level of safety lol.
