Honestly....IF you are based at home...or at least where you want to be....then the lack of overnights can be really nice. (I was home every night but two last month.) Outstation basing leads to a lot of scheduling challenges when it come to sick calls and such. This is otherwise known as doing da Colgan. There are lots of repos and schedule changes in addition. Other than that you pretty much get what you expect from a regional. IAH is a bit more like a real airline with overnights. Good luck..

Thanks...I'll pass this along. I work for a small regional too, a company that leaves something to be desired most days. But I must say, the people I work with are great! I know all too well about scheduling challenges and schedule changes, that don't benefit us, of course. How long's the upgrade? Sabb vs. Beech?
