IAD-AUS-IAD-RIC overnight
Ahhh yeah. They are different. You can take it from me because I have worked for both Mesa and ExpressJet. ExpressJet treats their pilots 5x better, with higher earnings. We don't do crap schedules like the one you aforementioned.

It's not exactly 'time building' when you are flying a CRJ 900 with 90 souls on board from Phoenix - LAX in my book. 'Time building' takes place at flight schools, not airlines.
