Jose G asked:

I went to a flight school in a private airport and learned I can start training for single engine and private jets and I don’t have my diploma yet. If I start training now, I can be finished by the time I’m 17 or 18. I’m 16.
And No I haven’t dropped out of school. I’m not one of those idiots that drops out of school. I’m just asking. I’m going into my junior year with 14.5 credits and need 24 to graduate.

Manny L asked:

and what is the difference between transport category?
Why a 19 pax commuter weighing over 12,500lb is not categorized as transport?
Regardless of operation. Why is there a divisory line of 12,500lb? Shouldn’t supposed to be anything lighter is Part 23 and anything heavier is part 25?

I fly every week and tomorrow, the winds are expected to be 35 to 40 mph with gusts to 45. Is it still safe to take off in these high winds?

Fastest way to a flying job with a commuter?

Filed under: Aircraft — Tags: Airline, Money, Puddle Jumpers — chatyak @ 3:38 pm

Dalon asked:

I’m 32 and I work as an A&P for a US airline but would like to fly for a Commuter for the fun of it only. So I’m looking to get a job with the fewest hours necessary and as fast as possible. Money need not be an object and neither would the pay. Just want to fly puddle jumpers or RJ’s for a good 5 to 10 years and call it quits. Any advice?
