I saw your response before you edited it and I thought you explained it better than me anyway. :)

The way I saw it was that an SIC could be used in lieu of an autopilot. So I logged SIC on legs with passengers on board. On pt 91 repo legs that I was PF, I logged PIC.

Regardless of how to log the time, it was one of the best learning experiences I've had so far in my four years of flying. Once I reach ATP mins, that accrued experience is what's going to count the most.

I saw an advertisement on Climbto350 for pilot positions in the BWI area? Is there any truth to this, or is this just CLT350 recycling their posts.

So far all of the BWI flying is crewed with pilots already on property. There isn't currently a BWI crew base; the pilots are based in Lancaster, PA (LNS), and Hagerstown, MD (HGR). I don't think any of us could rule out a BWI base completely (anything could happen), but right now the lines are built out of the outstations.

Here you see a difference between 9K and other airlines. Most airlines have pilots on furlough. Cape Air fills their aircraft with paid crewmembers that 98% of the time are not required. ;)

Its just the opposite. An SIC is a required crewmember. An autopilot may be used in lieu of the required crewmember.

Sec. 135.243 - Pilot in command qualifications.

(a) No certificate holder may use a person, nor may any person serve, as pilot in command in passenger-carrying operations --

(1) Of a turbojet airplane, of an airplane having a passenger-seat configuration, excluding each crewmember seat, of 10 seats or more, or of a multiengine airplane in a commuter operation as defined in part 119 of this chapter, unless that person holds an airline transport pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings and, if required, an appropriate type rating for that airplane.



:D
I actually did read the FARs before I posted my question, but I NEVER trust myself when it comes to the FARs! Maybe it's all that repressed part 135 trauma...

Quite correct. And use of an autopilot in lieu of an SIC must be approved by the administrator and listed in the OpSpecs.

Ya got me Rob. I guess all those days of getting bumped off of full flights w/ an operating autopilot were a real blow to my ego. On the other hand, those days when I could tell ground ops that they couldn't bump me off the flight due to an MEL'd autopilot were the best :D
