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

In This Episode We Discuss:

  • Hello From Minneapolis, landed on 30L from the MUSCL Three RNAV Arrival CEWDA Transition. Want to see a video about flying the approach and arrival?
  • During my service in the military, I received a bad conduct discharge for theft. Will an airline still take me with that on my record?
  • I discovered I had diabetes and immediately was grounded. At 43 do you think the hurdles/red tape are still in place at the FAA making this a futile pursuit?
  • Does the guide have any scholarships for Canadians?
  • I purchased the Scholarship Guide and was wondering if you have a condensed list for those of us with a few grey hairs?
  • Is a 1-week vacation normal for carriers in the USA? It doesn’t seem like much.
  • I have type ratings and a lot of time on 747, 767, A320, A330 and A380 with a fair chunk of that in command, but no college degree. Would any US-based airlines hire a guy like me?
  • I’m a married 43-year-old father of two with 14 hours of flight time. Are scholarships available for someone like me or are your scholarships only for career-minded folks that are already pilots?
