How does one apply for a new job with such a short stint at a regional? Hard to come up with an explanation that would make sense... Worked at BTQ for some time but my hours never counted..? Ugh?

FAA said that those that took a checkride would be okay. Something about those hours being validated by the examiner at the checkride. The ones that were in training at a regional (prior to checkride) got sent home.

FAA currently has a committee looking at all 135s operating single pilot aircraft with SIC. They have found multiple companies Southern, Cape Air, and BTQ for short with PDP issues. They will not rule on the flight time officially because the FAA wants the SICs for safety. They have a working group reworking the regs so 135 sics can more easily log SIC time. All parties involve want the SICs flying.

Please note this is not meant to sound like the typical *****ing you see here on Angry Pilot'sCentral. Having flown as a PIC for BTW, please, take my advice, or that of multitudes of other posters in this thread. DO NOT WORK FOR BOUTIQUE AIR. Your career, airman certificate, and physical well being will always be at risk. There are so many other choices out there. Ragged, poorly maintained aircraft, inept management that has no respect for employees (starting at the top with SS), and a toxic work environment.
