The Q, due to its fuel efficiency, was used on a lot of longer routes.
Back in 2007, we used to fly the Q into LAX from lots of places...EUG, MFR, RDM, SUN, BOI, RNO, ACV, RDD (FLG, PRC started in 08/09?)...back in the old T3 days.
I miss the days of LTO...that was a long ass flight, but with the fresh ceviche from the terminal, it made it so worth it. Only flight I've used "Pan, pan, pan" on was LTO-LAX, with an overflowing lav.
We also did flights like SMF-PSP, which I can say I wasn't a huge fan of...of IDA-SEA, which could be a long flight (I seem to recall a day where it was nearly 3hrs block).
