Do you mind providing a detailed sample scheduled for DFW? Is it basically one daily round trip or multiple? Also, how long does a flight from DFW to Pampa or Vernon take in a BE99?
I don't have the PHX schedule but I can tell you about DFW. There are two BE99 runs out of DFW. They both operate from Monday evening through Friday morning. Tu-Th they operate out to their outstations and layover at a hotel. The run to Pampa TX logs about 16-18 hours per week and the run to Vernon TX logs roughly 10-12 hours per week.

We don't like to get too detailed because things can change. Both runs are one round trip, with a couple of legs each way. During the day on Tu-Th the pilot stays at a hotel to get rest. Monday and Friday are straight round trips with no layover.

Is the 99 turbine? Must be a really fun plane to fly!

Recent schedules have the BE99 pilots flying a mix of routes throughout the week, whereas the type rated pilots are more likely to stick with the same route throughout the week. There has been a lot of movement, so seniority and upgrades can come quick. There were openings on all 3 type rated aircraft this last bid period.
Hope that helps. Congrats, and see you around.

So, you're the reason the BE99 SLC job disappeared. Oh, well. I'm sure another will open up soon enough. Congrats!
