I don't have any contacts in the cargo side of things. Most of the guys I know are shaking in their boots wondering if they're going to keep their regional job tomorrow.
Thanks in advance.
The DFW base has Piper Chieftains that are outstationed in Pampa, Vernon, and Oaklahoma City. The Vernon and Pampa flights overnight in DFW. DFW has a few Brasilias that I believe are being staffed now. Most of the Metro runs are either outstationed or staffed, but it never hurts to call the base and try and find out. There is one Beech 99, handful of Metroliners and Brasilias.
AMF has reciprocal agreement with SWA. Commuting in not forbidden, but it is hard at times when working M-F and trying to jumpseat on the weekends.
As for the second question...All of our aircraft, with exception of the Brasilia, are single pilot. So everything is Turbine PIC for those pilots in the 99, 1900, or Metro.
