I think they got a waiver for single-engine climb performance...as in they don't have any. They let them use the light piston twin standard, ie both engines are required in order to survive the TO.

What never made sense to me was the labor part of the model...tiny as those things are, they are REAL turbojets, and require real turbojet pilots. How did they expect to afford that with only 1-2 paying pax?
There are plenty of reasons to chose a regional over an air-taxi operation, so they would have to beat regional pay in the long term.
Maybe the assumption was tips...large ones, in cash.

It was more QOL issue. Home every night, no weekends....pay a little more than a 121 turboprop CA, but less than RJ CA.
