The pay is pathetically low, airplanes are shabby (1900s), maintenance is poor, little to no communication with ....... anyone, dispatchers who don't know where their planes are, MU values always at 25 (ironically just what's needed to land!), Proficiency checks at 3am, ..... I could continue. But the crews are awesome and the agents are great. If it weren't for these folks, this airline would grind to a halt. These are just some of the things that curb the enthusiasm
Enjoy the crews, agents, mechanics, and the passengers that are that special breed who are willing to have you fly them into Bradford, Dubois, or Ogdensburg with the ice coming off of the props and hitting on 1 a/b in a snow storm. As you move up in your career the things you wrote about will move in opposite directions. The most fun I have had, was flying the Mighty Beech out of Dubois. Is Mary still in Dubois? I always had the hots for her (10 years ago)
