as far as the EAS contracts.. a lot of their Hawaii flying is EAS too... when I was working there someone told me that that's how they break even. supposedly, anything other than those EAS contracts is pure profit cuz those contracts provide enough revenue to cover their operating costs. or something like that.

I love how the articles talk about how happy people are Pac Wings got the contract..... what I really wonder is if those people will get in the plane when they arrive at the airport. I don't mind small aircraft and will fly them but passengers are way different. One thing I really hate to do is IFR single engine especially in the mountains ABQ. Wow I don't see how the FAA would allow caravans for paying 121 passengers.

For scheduled passenger service in a 135 operation an FO or working autopilot is required for IFR flight. If the OP Specs allow an FO they can be used at any time and can log the time as SIC.
Had 9 passengers in a Navajo for EAS would rather had a Caravan.

Have not really got a confirmation on this but heard from numerous people on here that if its written in a companies ops specs that 2 pilots are required then you are able to log it as SIC. Still have never asked the
FAA but maybe I should give them a call aboutthat. Does anyone else think that 9 pasengers on a caravan is kinda scary.

Require it. I have heard that there are still a few senior CA's here that have single pilot types so I guess they could do single pilot on the 91 legs if the company would let them.

What most of you youngsters don't remember is that the regionals operated Navajo's for the longest time. Some still do. Now every new guy/girl wants the jet. I'd say the Navajo is harder to fly then a jet (less automation).
