I do know when I was still there there were two (2) Be99 flights out of BUR that went to HWD. One departed at 2300 and another around 0030-0100 and one quick turned and the other day in HWD for about 2 hours. Those two separate flights only have about 5-7 hours of duty assigned to them per night. I'm pretty sure the HWD night schedules mask BURs.
Thanks for the info Freightdog. And also thanks for all that contributed to this question.
I am curious for two reasons. One, yes the jumpseats but not for me. It is for others I work with that may be interested. Moving from OAK to HWD though is a deal breaker for some. But likely not for all.
And two, I am involved in GA and since I am active on the forums I like to keep up with the industry for any aspiring pilots that I may have contact with. I think AMF is a great way to get some experience for younger pilots in their career path. Building TPIC time quickly certainly can give you an edge for some positions out there.
Thanks again everyone.
