As a MD guy, formerly in Anchorage and now SDF, life here has been exceptional. Of course, I’m on a growing fleet.
my only point was that you were arguing as if it’s a clear decision. I can tell you pax haulers have a good deal too. I’ve been at 2 legacies and my wife is at a legacy. I just caution against thinking it’s so much better here and so much worse there... YMMV
