I recently saw an ExpressJet E145XR operating out of Teterboro and I heard one flying into HPN who indicated he was a charter flight. So, I have some questions:
1. How many E145s are dedicated to charter ops?
2. Is this a popular (i.e., senior) assignment for ExpressJet pilots?
3. Are the charter pilots based out of a particular domicile?
4. Does the schedule tend to differ from normal regional ops?
5. Can ExpressJet pilots easily bid from regional ops to charter ops and back or is there a minimum time commitment?
Sounds like it could be an interesting break for reality for pilots so long as you can get decent hours. At least you would get some nice route variety. I would think many college sports teams and Nascar teams would be interested in this type of lift.
