FAA Closing the Public Charter Loophole (JSX, SkyWest)

[Minuteman]

“The FAA announced on June 17 that it is launching a formal effort to amend the regulatory definitions of “scheduled”, “on demand” and “supplemental” operations to eliminate a carve-out that allows public charters in aircraft with up to 30 passenger seats to be operated under 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135. By contrast, turbojets and airplanes with 10 or more passenger seats used in scheduled airline service must be operated under the more demanding provisions of Part 121.”

I was joking. Every fiber of my being is trying to retire before 50. I don't feel that will be possible with so many career setbacks. 55 would be amazing and could be possible.
