Also, does Amflight operate any outstations in the Central Valley?
Thanks!

Don't forget PDX. The reason is that these bases have a large number of chieftains, and pilots often opt to transfer out of these bases for turbine upgrades rather than wait for one to happen within the base.
The high seniority bases (ie SEA) and those which are all or mostly turbine equipped (ie SLC and PHX) have had their vacancies mostly filled by transfers from such bases recently, so you'll rarely see them as an option for a new hire.
I don't know that it has really has much to do with California. I'm assuming you mean "outstation based" with your other question, and yes they do.
