Tier 3
So any operation that runs a scheduled service (703) or is there a weight classification of the aircraft that makes it a tier 3 airline.
Re: Tier 3
Tier 3 I think was a “coined” term to describe 18-19 seat airline that feed passengers to the main line and/or its regional airline. For example Air Canada is the main line with Jazz (tier 2) the regional airline and with Air Georgian (tier 3).bluesideup wrote:What is considered a "tier 3 or above" airline?
It is a term that is now used loosely to describe an airline that is a step down in a pilot’s career from the regional airline.
My take on it anyway

It has little to do with 703 ops. It has to do with the hierarchy of the particular airline. For example, a small airline that isn't affiliated with any major carrier is not a tier 3 airline. Furthermore, its only the particular commerical agreement that dictates the type of aircraft and ops of a tier 3 carrier.
