Trip lengths and destinations
Can anyone tell me what the typical schedules look like out of IAH on the 145. Are the out and back trips usually taken by the more senior fo and captains? What about days away from base. Any destinations with time between flights to explore or rest?

Mostly four to five legs per day. Some days have two legs including five hour sits at outstations. We have no duty rigs, so you might be lucky to make two hours of pay for an entire day of work. In the summertime, the 145 air packs do not work at all, you have cockpit temps reach 100 deg or more. Overnights are boring. Welcome to ExpressJet...
