I don't understand that part. As far as a I know... I had a check for 135 PIC and I fly charters and cargo, solo. My company don't use dual pilot unless is a training flight which obviously is one trainee and the CFI. That's how I made the most of my PIC time. Flying cargo and Pax over the Caribbean.
So as a matter of fact the 135 VFR captain is the same as a 135 IFR captain, only that you cannot fly IFR and time minimums for applicability are different. For both position the pilot have to be Instrument Rated.
VFR:
Read Part 135.243 (b)(1)(2)(3)
IFR:
Read Part 135.243 (c)(1)(2)(3)

I may not have the flight time, but I have every single other qualification met. I'm going to apply on Monday after I get my 1st class medical renewed. Besides, what could it hurt? I have a lot better chances of getting called by putting in an app than without, and if I don't get a call, life goes on!
Good luck to everybody.

Does anybody know what in the world is taking so long on getting official class dates for those of us being recalled? With spots open for class dates later this month, you would think they would start filling them and letting us know. But, then again its eagle....

And how much Turbine PIC time do you have? You think with the way the industry is, and when hiring resumes with tons of Captains at regionals and elswhere with mucho CA time you will be competive? My guess not. Not knocking, just a reality check. Why, because I was in your shoes, thinking the same thing as I swung the gear for many years. Even with 1000+hrs of left seat time, I couldn't get my application pulled. You never know till you try, but look at those who have been hired at those companies, and I think you will see a very small percent of those with SIC time and no ATP are very few and far between. Good luck.

Secondly not too long ago during an LEC mtg in NY a certain MEC member apparently when questioned about upcoming sec6 neg. He felt we were finished. we're too expensive. Apparently those were his words. There is a reason CHQ is still flying for AMR. So you might see why I like to look towards bigger and better things. It is what is...
