Now a follow up question:
Part 121 ops means all "normal" airline ops, including typical farmed out regional airlines of major carriers with CRJ's etc, right?
YES
Part 135 is then typical business aviation, where as a customer you hire a provider to fly you wherever you want to go.
YES
And part 91 is someone owning his own jet, which could include employing a pilot to fly it, but you do not sell flights to other, non-owner customers.
NO...THIS PART OF PART 91 IS PART 91K WHICH IS FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP AND NOT THE RICH GUY WHO OWNS HIS OWN AIRPLANE...NETJETS FOR EXAMPLE
If my red answers aren't correct, someone will step in and correct them.
And I might add that from my empirical observations, the upgrade times in a Part 91K operation are very long so I don't see it as a path to PIC time that matters in the Part 121 world.
