Non-sched.

Think yourself lucky. Our freighters all have the new doors too but only US employees can ride on the jets. Myself, being based in the UK, and who can sign both the airworthiness release and the aircraft security check (should the nosegear security tape be missing) cannot, and probably never will again. Gone are the days when you could fly around on charter flights as a flight mechanic/mx rep. Now i have to lug my toolbox around airports on commercial flights chasing our own aircraft.
