I had 39.32 hours of OT last check. Next week's check will barely be 80 hours total (I traveled alot over the last couple weeks).

I'm off tomorrow, maybe while the laundry is washin' I'll run up to the airport and shoot a picture for ya. Easy to spot if you know what building you are looking for.

And for your opinion on how beautiful it is here... I'm from the Pacific Northwest and I miss the color GREEN.

HQs is about 2.5 miles to the east (4 miles by road) at 444 River Rd.

Its easy to spot, its one of the tallest buildings in town. Just look towards the hospital, where the Skywest helipad is located.

Found it, pretty cool.. I had taken 4 panoramic photos from the airport North to Southwest.. then I have google earth with pan and tilt etc.. I placed myself on Google earth with the Address on it.. and my photos.. walla.. matched perfectly..

Pretty cool that Google earth... I still think your town and panorama is just beautiful...

So now I can see where commuting is a tough thing.. I supposed you have to catch a E120's to LAS then outbound.. I assume the Cjr does not come there much..

I understand that you guys are getting a new airport.. where is that going to be located??

It has grown on me the longer I've been here (2 years)...still not sure I want to be here forever. Would love to go back home to DFW someday. I could stick with SKW for a while though...I do like the company quite a bit.

All said, it is a nice little town to a certain extent. There is plenty to do within 120 miles of SGU...just very little to do IN SGU.

No scheduled CRJ's in SGU. I don't think we've seen a CRJ in here since we took delivery of 821SK and they flew it down here for some promotional photos at SGU.

Only scheduled service is 7 or 8 daily flights to SLC and 2 incredibly ill-timed flights to LAX. All Brasilias. I've been pushing to work out some kind of jumpseat agreement with the company that runs the FedEx Feeder Caravans to LAS, but something tells me that would be a charlie-foxtrot on those hot days even if we got it all worked out.

I'm sitting at 375+ hrs. OT YTD. I've cut back significantly in the last few months and traveled more.

Four 10 hr. shifts.

OT is combination of staffing and time off granted. We run a pretty fluid sked.

You're going to have to define VR for us.
