In This Episode We Discuss:
- YouTube/ExpertAviator once a week updates.
- What is the Scope Clause?
- Contractual obligation by the major airline to limit the number and size of airplanes regional airlines can fly.
- 50 seat aircraft.
- Two 50 seat aircraft equals 100 seats.
- Some limit by percentage and others by an absolute number.
- Other airlines don’t limit the number of 50 seat aircraft.
- 51-76 seat aircraft, the line between major and regional gets fuzzy.
- How scope affects the regionals and protects jobs at the majors.
- Remember many years ago a DC-3 that was flown by the majors is a turboprop regional aircraft.
- So what is a major airline pilot?
- Why pilots at the majors don’t want to fly small jets and how that helps you if you are looking to get hired during a downturn.
- 61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command.
- Listener mail
