a lot of reserve guys that I've talked to on the B1900 fly closer to 90hrs, by choice. A few guys this past month have flown 102+hrs. That right there is more than most regionals.
That's funny... 'cause none of the reserve guys I've talked to fly that much. Most of 'em sit around all month patiently awaiting their allowance from the 727574upsStickyFingerKnuckleChildren fund.
However, I will agree that Silver is a step up from our alma mater.
