[quote=Mitragor They told me that once you get 1200, they have you fly mail to build up your PIC, then when you get ATP mins, you get the upgrade and fly pax.

Is it possble then if you meet part 135 IFR mins to go straight to flying mail?

Yeah, most likely what they'd have you do is fly the mail a few days a week, and SIC on the days you're not doing that. Also, if any ferry flights come across the board you could get one of those too.

Mitragorz/Robthree,

The more routes the better, but I'm so out of the loop... I don't know if that's true or not. I;m sure Robthree will chime in, though. I haven't spoken to anyone in over a month. I sent some emails but never heard back. I'm going to call today and see what's what. If I can get in that Dec. 1 class, I'd be a happy camper.

I haven't heard anything specific about Bar Harbor, however that is the kind of market they're looking at expanding into. So when EAS routes come up for bid - which is every two years I think - I would expect that management would be there putting in a proposal. I think Colgan is getting rid of, or shrinking, their 1900 fleet and trying to sell the Saab 340 on the EAS routes, which because of higher ticket cost, and lower frequency, was not as attractive to local officials in Rockland, ME when they did our Dog and Pony Show up there.

I also heard that we went to MD last week to discuss an EAS route from BWI to a couple places across the Chesapeake.
