What type of aircraft do they fly out of DFW? What kind of schedules do they have as well? Thanks!

Actually OUT of DFW are SA227s and BE1900s. They are technically reserve positions. The pilots cover two M-F runs (one SA227, one BE1900) on a rotating basis as well as a Sunday out and back to PHX (SA227.)

The BE99 runs that operate from DFW are outstation based in Lubbock, Pampa and Vernon TX.

Vernon and Pampa are similar runs. They both operate Monday PM through Friday AM. Vernon departs about 7PM, stops in Wichita Falls (SPS) and gets into DFW about 9PM. It departs in the morning about 6:30AM and goes back through SPS on the way to Vernon.

The Pampa PM flight is similar, departing PPA about 7PM, stopping in Clinton OK and getting into DFW around 9:15. In the morning, it departs empty from DFW between 3:30 and 4AM and goes to Lubbock. It picks up freight in LBB and departs about 6:30 to PPA.

Lubbock has 3 pilots assigned that operate on a rotating, 3 week schedule. One week is doing the run from LBB to Midland to Alpine in the morning (M - F) and back to LBB in the evening. One week comes into DFW at about 7:45PM (M-F) and returns empty at 3:30 AM except on Saturday which comes back with freight about 6:30AM. The final week does a split AM/PM reserve shift, M-F.

The runs from San Antonio also fall under the control of DFW. Those are all outstationed runs (with the exception of two reserve lines) that operate Monday evening through either Friday (BE99-San Angelo) or Saturday morning (BE99-Brownwood; BE1900s-Midland, Del Rio and Corpus Christi.)


BTW, the highlighted "DFW" is because I copied this from one of my earlier posts. Search engines are a wonderful thing.

The banner add states bonuses up to $7500. Anyone know what the bonus schedule is for the open house at DFW? It is different than what is posted on the website. They told me when I was there, but I can't find my notes.

It's the same as what's on the web site.

Just wondering what AMF's lines are like out of PHX?

KSCessnaDriver

A mix of outstation and PHX based. PA31's based in FLG, SAD and PHX. 99 out of OLS, P14 and PHX. 1900 out of NYL, FHU and PHX, Metro out of IGM & PHX. E120 in PHX. That's as far as I know, or how it was when I was there earlier this year

Do most of the lines have early AM outs and late PM backs? Are there any that depart in the mid afternoon and return that evening?

KSCessna is pretty much in par. I'm here now and this is what it is currently.

E120: (1) PHX-OLS, (1) PHX-HHMO
BE1900: PHX-NYL (out station) PHX-FHU (out station) PHX-TUS (in station)
SA227: PHX-IGM (out station) PHX-HHMO (in station) PHX-LAS (in station)
BE99: PHX-OLS (out station) PHX-P14 (out station) PHX-TUS (in station) PHX-HII (in station)
PA31: PHX-FLG (out station) PHX-SAD (out station) PHX-ABQ (in station)

The three bases I've been at most runs depart early AM and return early PM. There are some exceptions, and you'll find most of those exceptions are flown by pretty senior guys

So I'm supposed to be going to PDX in July to fly PA31's and I'm trying to find some practical housing accommodations. I need to find something that is affordable and close to the airport but that won't tie me down with a long lease.

Any guys here previously fly out of PDX with any suggestions on where (or where not) to live?
