Also, can I call to get listed? Or just at the gate like normal? Thanks for all the info!
Just show up and pray they have a pilot to operate it and that he decided to show up to work

The Bro has a jumpseat that folds up out of the floor by the center console.

I lived in EAR and commuted for a while on Great Lakes. It was so unreliable that I just gave up on that and started driving to Omaha. This was a couple years ago when Lakes was much better staffed. Also, in my experience the Brasilia jump seat is unusable due to weight restrictions. It might be better in the winter though, but I wouldn't risk holiday plans on it. Good luck and happy holidays.

Thanks! I really appreciate the reply. I was gonna ask about the weight. Totally forgot. Good point.

Any idea how this route has been recently with pax loads and completion percentage? On time, I don't really care. Just want to get there haha.
I don't fly for a UA Carrier so I can't look up the loads or performance my self. Gonna check flight aware in a bit.

I have not done it in a couple years so I have no idea how it has been recently. I used to call to list and they would give me an idea of the loads. 1 800-554-5111 of 5112. I have both numbers in my phone and can't remember which is correct. Have you considered Envoy to GRI?
