Even with the upgrade time under two years now the flow of Captains to the majors is pretty high. QOL for the captains is pretty bad as they are flying close to ninety hours a month. Home every night is a real deal. Once or twice a year you might RON for a charter that starts early in the morning somewhere other than Anchorage and of course a mechanical or weather might jam you up but those are rare. The Dashes are well maintained … can't speak to the Saab's conditions.
