BREAKING NEWS: Regional Airlines to Allow Private Pilots Free Airfare to Fly Right Seat
January 10, 2019 Airline Travel
Attention multi-engine rated private pilots…you can now fly for free with any regional airline!

According to the Regional Airline Association (RAA) the only viable solution to the pilot shortage is to reduce employed cockpit flight crew by 50% and augment with qualified volunteer private pilots holding at least a multi-engine rating and no minimum hour experience requirement. Upon arrival at the final destination the captain will sign off the time in their logbook and give them souvenir plastic wings for their shirt.
A Carlsbad based regional airline says they are grounding flights in January due to a nationwide pilot shortage.
California Pacific Airlines currently operates flights out of Carlsbad’s McClelland-Palomar Airport and flies to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Reno, and San Jose.
If you are a multi-engine private pilot and planning to travel you need to call the reservations number of the airline – do not book online – and tell them you are a qualified private pilot willing to take right seat duties and your ticket will be issued at no charge on a first come, first served basis.

The FAA recently ruled that the use of an autopilot is considered equivalent to hand flying to satisfy the instrument currency requirement of 6 approaches, radial intercept and track and holding. Here is the ruling:
FAR 61.51, A pilot’s use and management of the autopilot system is equivalent to the use and management of other flight control systems. Specifically, an instrument rated may use the autopilot during an IAP and be considered to have “performed” the IAP for the purpose of logging six IAPs every six months in order to maintain his or her IFR currency as required by FAR 61.57(c), “Instrument Experience.”
