Private Equity shows the way. {{ LOL }}
The public sector charter loophole.
{{ As you can see, airlines are able to operate scheduled flights as a Part 135 operator, but only if planes have under 10 seats. So how is JSX able to do this with 30-seat {jet} aircraft? It’s because JSX claims that it’s not a scheduled operator, but rather that it’s an on-demand operator.
How is that possible, when JSX has a clearly published schedule? It’s because there are actually two companies involved — JSX sells scheduled flights, while a company named Delux Public Charter operates JSX’s flights.
A scheduled US airline must use pilots with a minimum of 1,500 hours of flight experience. A charter carrier could fly with a pilot with only 250/hrs of experience.
