Surprisingly, no one has asked the REAL fundamental question: Why is anyone getting ready to apply at a regional?

Then, u can log into the Universal Licensing System using your FRN here:

Once you do that, simply click on the "apply for a new license" link and follow the directions. The license code you are applying for is RR - Restricted Operator. You pay the fee online using a credit card and you'll get it in the mail within a few weeks.

What about us old farts that got the FCC license back when it was required of ALL pilots, there was no fee, and no expiration dates... Are we grandfathered with our existing license from before the dawn of time.

Is it worth getting the FCC license as soon as possible because the price will only go up in the future or do some regionals will pay for you to get it if you get hired with them?
