Empire Airlines base in OAK?

Is it a junior base? ATR? Fokker?

Thanks

It really isn't a base. The airplane is there for a few hours before heading back up north. I think those crews are based in SEA.

The flight is YVR-OAK. Starts on a Monday evening and ends on Saturday morning. Leaves YVR around 7:30 p.m.and arrives OAK 10:30 and then departs OAK around 2:30 a.m. arriving in YVR 5:30 a.m. Ill Mitch is right, even though the flight departs from YVR the crew is SEA based.
They drive up to YVR o Monday and drive back on Saturday.
It is arguably the most disliked route in the network.There is also a rumor that it will be going away in September.

If I had a nickle for every time the YVR-OAK run was supposed to go away I could buy my own ATR!

Good to see you ATRCAPT. (I've only posted a couple times but you know me.) This time the rumor is stronger than last, but I'll believe it when I see it. The SE run was supposed to change and that was a sure thing. Looks like it will stay the same now. PM me when you get a chance.

I agree with ATR Cap, it was supposed to leave three times while I was there. I even saw it leave once for a week.
