Where are most of the FO's for the EMB being based currently? Do they still have the VFR flying with lower mins from ABQ?
I have tried to be in contact with their recruitment, but not had a lot of luck outside of auto generated emails. Then one I emailed said I will message you tomorrow and the day came and passed with nothing.

As far as I know there are still VFR PA31 captains in ABQ. Per the regs a VFR captain only needs 500 hours TT as compared to 1200 for an IFR captain.

Do any pilots commute to anyones knowledge or is the schedule to busy to allow. I live right outside of Nashville and am looking to apply. One major question I had would I need to move to whatever base I'm assigned or is there a good way to get back and forth. I see they are a CASS participant and have a jumpseat agreement with Southwest... just didn't know if it was feasible or not. My hours would put me to either be an F/O of the 120 or SA227 according to a recruiter. They somewhat told me what to expect schedule wise but I would rather hear from a line officer if all possible to get what is actually happening out there.

Leave King County Airport after loading around 0630, cross the Cascade Mountains to the outstation, unload, call hotel shuttle, stay there about 7 hours. Catch the shuttle back to the airport, load up around 1700, fly back to

Company policy is if you do commute, you are to be at your assigned duty station a minimum of 4 hours prior to your show time. Now there is normally no one there to check that you make that time. But consequences can be severe if you aren't there AT your show time. And there is no allowance for "I had 3 flights available but I kept getting bumped" or "Weather caused my flight to get cancelled."

Thank you all both for the information. I guess I should have clarified my question just a bit... I know during the week it wouldnt be possible to make it back to Nashville... but I was just more so wondering about weekends and making sure there was a real way to get back and forth if needed and if I am stationed somewhere farther than Louisville that the CASS agreement was for sure in effect to make it home without paying every single time.
