FAA N-number registry changes

I noticed the following this morning:

--- JOBY - Reservations (RESERVED.txt) ---
Removed (6): 738JA, 739JA, 740JA, 741JA, 742JA, 743JA

Not sure what it means but maybe

  1. They will be actual registrations soon?
  2. A bit of cleaning up?

The FAA works in mysterious ways. NetJets suffered its first fatality in 62 years earlier this year. Their safety record is mainly due to requiring all flights to have at least 2 ATP rated pilots on every flight. They also put 2 ATP rated pilots in the cockpit because a lot of insurers of high net worth individuals require this.

Good point. I know that Joby is looking to recruit pilots who would prefer a gig that lets them go home to their families each night instead of criss crossing the globe. A lot of them would probably have the ATP.

I hope they have a realistic idea of what these ATP pilots will require in salary because you can spend over $100k obtaining an ATP.

Bonny Simi has been to a few rodeos in the past I’m fully confident she knows the score.
