The bases that have E120s are BFI, PDX, PHX, DFW, CVG and BQN. There is also an E120 run set to start in SLC in the next week or two.
As for adding planes, there are actually very few SA227 or BE1900 aircraft out there for us to acquire. Right now our issue isn't so much airframes as it is pilots. We currently have a few planes parked because we can't staff them.
