If a current charter AOC holder decided to go to RPT, using the thought bubble of Part 135 as a guild to upgrade to Air transport LRPT, as that is the standard that will replace charter, how do we anticipate things like check and training requirements as just one example. Then there is the biggy and how do we get small aircraft off schedule 5, and onto a LRPT maintaince standard when the standard hasn't been decided. Put a 206 on a heavy RPT maintiance schedule what a joke!
What a stuff up. Apply for a RPT category that doesn't exist, under exemptions that are trying to be removed, in aircraft with less than 9 passengers that doesnt have a maintaince standard in place.
To get all that approved on a case by case basis, I think part 135 would be in before that, not to mention how much the back and forth would all cost
Or is this all a polite warning to all to say now armed with the caper appeal win, that we are just about to shut you down, start looking for another job.
