Your indignation seems odd; there’s no proof to your claim. And you seem to be out of touch with the reality that a) very few Hageland pilots go to bush destinations if they’re not flying a revenue flight or being carried as a passenger on a company flight, b) Hageland flies to more bush locations than any other carrier in the state (so why would they need to jumpseat), and c) most (but not all) Hageland pilots travel space positive on company planes to their base. While some still jump on AS, NAC, or Everts, it’s not as common as it once was.
It sounds as if you have a hard-on for Hageland and that you heard a story and reinterpreted it - that you heard what you wanted to hear - and now you can’t let it go. There was another thread like this on the forum, initiated by the father of a freight pilot who died in a nighttime accident. All the facts pointed to pilot error, but the father had been told by an attorney that the real culprit was the company’s maintenance. That father was convinced by the attorney, and wouldn’t consider any other explanation. You seem to have the same irrational conviction.
