The company saying I'm not supposed to fly on my own time doing private flying. I told her its non commercial I'm not a CFI, so i can't even instruct. Don't yearly flight times and duty times only go towards commercial flying and not recreational? I was trying to look it up, unsure about it now.

You have less than 1500hrs? I thought you were a much higher time pilot than that. LOL. How many people are less than 1500, and what plane are the majority of these low time pilots on?

I'm in the Saab but ill be fine. There's a mix I think most low time guys are on the Saab, not sure what's left on the 1900.

Nothing like reserve to slow progress in FLL when I first got hired. Most low time pilots hired were going to be fine but shifting in schedules put a lot of them on reserve when they held lines after a while. So unfortunately for most it's just a luck of the draw.

Sounds like you got some bad intel. You can fly as much as you want as long as it's not commercial. Ref. 14 CFR 121.471.

Even instructing is not considered for hire as long as you are not being compensated in any sort.

I've heard before that the FAA might look at flight time in your logbook as 'compensation'.


Might want to look into that before you instruct on the side.

Good point. I guess the FAR doesn't actually say for hire, simply commercial flying.
