Actually OUT of DFW are SA227s and BE1900s. 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.)
