Everything flyguyniner11 said is true, I fly the Saab out of IAH and its a great aircraft and everyday you go to work, you lose weight since its so damn hot. If you fly the Saab for Eagle like some of my friends do there still 5+ years in upgrade here less then two. I chose my base and plane and got it so my QOL is better then most people in the airlines since I don't have to travel for work. The only down side is some days you might have two legs and others 8 or more just to get in your hours. But if you want to leave and go someplace for a while you can TDY pretty easy.
