The bro will make you a better pilot. it will also make you appreciate the next airplane you fly more than you can imagine. it's not a "fun" airplane to fly...but it will challenge you. start doing some squat thrusts to get the right leg strong enough for the amazing amount of rudder that hog requires.

the schedules will build character, especially out in the california system. having said that, 8 legs a day thru cali ain't so bad, just ask those guys who do it out of say Bos, CLE, PIT, CLT, etc. whether they would trade places in a heartbeat.
