Default Re: A few Skywest Q's...

Fresno has the widest variety of Brasilia flying, and is also the most junior (probably because Fresno is the 7th circle of hell). Local trips to four day trips and everything in between, though three day trips are usually limited. Many of Fresno's trips are commutable on one end, only a few on both ends. It's a maintenance base, so most trips either start quite early, or end quite late.

Most trips pay 4.5-5 an average of 4.5 to 5 hours per day, some pay more, a few pay less. Most of the San Francisco flying is limited to 7 legs a day, occasionally you'll get an 8 leg day out of SFO. Usually it's 4-6 when doing SFO stuff. LAX flying usually has a higher leg count, 6-8, due to the shorter legs.

Nearly all of Fresno's flying is in the Pacific time zone. Only Yuma and St. George are in a different time zone. Our territory covers California, Oregon, and Washington, as well as Las Vegas, Reno, Yuma, and St. George.

I think it's fun flying. The airplane is very fun to fly. Some of the days can get long, but most of the trips I do aren't hard. Personally I get bored of the constant nice weather, but most people probably don't.
