Hi,

What regionals have the fewest layovers? IE Your home most of the time.

Thanks
 
I think guys on the Beech 1900 at Mesa are home every night. Any Mesa guys want to chime in on this?
 
PC- love your info, I'm sure you'll get more than a few people fired up with crap like that.

To answer the post. Easy, all. Just don't commute. It makes most jobs better. If you have to commute on reserve with ten days off and only fly eight days, and takes some of those ten days off to commute, you're better off living there. I bid reserve just so I'm home more. If I fly eight days, I (for the most part) have 22 days at home. Better than most line holders, and it keeps me from drinking beer. He with the least hours wins.

We do go home every night at Island Air. Sch for 18 days, but average out 15. Surf in the morning, show up for work at noon, off by 8pm. Or beat the traffic at 5am, home by 1pm. Your choice. Make your own sch every month with the sch rep for ALPA, even resev.
 
Colgan has almost all day trips (unless you are the most junior of junior). Stay there for more than a few months and you'll have day trips and get to return home pretty much all the time.

Getting to go home at the end of the day and still be able to fly 121 is probably one of Colgan's few incentive which makes it worth staying at.

It also keeps your perdiem at a taxable rate and lower total cost to the company thats why some bulid the lines that way.

Trash eight, sorry, I should have clarified. I meant his info in his bio on the side. Not the acutal info itself.
