Emb 120, Metro, 1900, and 99's.
I got an offer for metro- is metro a better pick out of three ? Is it single pilot most of the times
Depends... 😂 And it depends yet again 😜
ON "typical" scheduled contract work you fly 5-2 or possibly 4-3 on a few runs, usually single pilot, but if working charter the schedule is more of a 3week on, one off, sometimes weekends off, typical with a copilot more often than not.
As for which flies the most... largely route dependant.
Some scheduled runs get a few hours a day, some less as "milk runs" .. charter work is highly cyclical ...busy months you max out of legal hours, slow months you might barely fly. So it's largely a lifestyle choice and where you want to live.
