Mesaba Avro

I was just wondering if the Avros generally stick to out and backs to one hub or if they make the rounds through each hub on the average lines?
Also anyone have an idea of what bases are open for us newbies?

Memphis or Detroit on the Avro. Welcome to the heat.

We do out and backs about 80% and bridge through another 20%.......all apporximately.

If I get stuck in MEM to start how tough is the commute from DTW or GRR?

In the summer the avro will do MEM-GRR once a day, timed perfectly for commuters. But then again, all flights in MEM are well timed for commuters the way the push system is set up. We have a MEM capt that commutes from GRR and I remember him saying it's pretty easy. Between the hub commuting is tricky, because you're now competing with full flights, NWA and PNCL pilots and FAs.
They're not back filling FO positions in CVG but that's the base that does ALL bridge flying. It isn't uncommon that you'll see all 3 hubs on a 4 day trip. But between MEM and DTW you'll definitely get your fair share of bridge flying at some point.

Last month, all trips out of MEM were bridge trips. Varies month to month. The DTW MEM commute is a tough one.

MEM MSP is easy except during spring break and holidays.
