I got offered FO position for ERJ 145, doesn't make ant sense since I have only 750TT. Currently, I know that I only qualify for 135 operation. How can they operate ERJ 145's under part 135?
Please let me know. Thank you.

I accepted a Captain position at Via today. Start training Jan4. They are telling me they will have a 121 ticket by February. I will let you guys know how it is as I move along through training.

Do there planes ever fly? Every time I drive past ORL, they are parked on the ramp.

They hire you on for the 145 or Brasilia?

I was hired as an E145 Capt. And yes those planes fly multiple legs daily out of Atlantic City, Tunica, and Laughlin. As far as I can tell, they have 4 aircraft. Only one seems to not have any flights on flight aware

I am indeed home based, and don't appear to be getting paid less

Did you have previous 121 time or time in type to get a captain spot. Any idea what the schedule will be like?

I did three years and 2000+ hours in the ERJ at XJT before. The DO told me that for the first three months, schedule will be tough. Around April they will be setting an 8/6 schedule in hopes that In June they will have an airline type schedule that can be bid on. I assume that means a mix of schedules.
