Hello all,


I hold an unrestricted commercial pilot's license issued in 1973. I am
not current but that's something I can take care of in a week.

My question is... I would like to fly for hire under part 91.
Specifically, I would to fly lawyers to their depos and get back home at
the end of the day. It's my understanding that I cannot do this and have
to operate under part 135? My, how times and restrictions have changed!!


My Google research indicates that all this added crap went into effect in
1993.


Might someone out there, like myself, know if I'm "grandfathered"under
part 91?


You are not grandfathered for the purpose of "holding out to the public".

And I cannot recall if the change was due to an actual change in the rules.
I thought the change was due to a different interpretation of existing
rules.

Now, if the lawyer firm owned the aircraft and used it for flying only
"firm" lawyers, and hired you as a pilot for that aircraft, then it would
probably come under Part 91.
