And they’ll still get to flow on time and be on the bottom of the msl for years. Sounds fun.
A lot of the ATR's and Caravans leave around 6 pm to get into the outstation that has a trunk aircraft, they then layover all night and go to work once the trunk aircraft lands at the outstation. Their night hub turns allow them to get a full nights rest. Sounds like a gravy gig to me. Now if they are MEM base then thats like doing what we do now.
