I never flew the Brasilia but I thought it would have been interesting/fun. I've heard it is over-engineered. I now fly the jet version (since flight school - no other regional type in my background) out of the Midwest but I was wondering about life on the Skywest Brasilia flying around California.
For those pilots at Skywest who fly it:
1. Is it a fun airplane to fly?
2. Are they well equipped? EFIS? I realize they are pretty old.
3. How many sectors do you fly typically per day?
4. Is it fun to fly around SoCal or does it get old quickly (for those based in the area)?
5. Do the SoCal based pilots get to fly up around NorCal and vice versa or do you stay in the area?
I am not leaving my job for awhile but I always thought flying around Cali would be interesting and fun (if you can afford it). Flying around the Midwest can be boring at times.
PMs are welcome too.
