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
