Well... have you ever had to manifest, fuel, load and de-ice your own airplane when it's -40 and a 60 knot wind before?

Like I said, there are a few reasons.

Those are some good thoughts though, I don't buy into that Jet is better logic, just from a personal standpoint if I do go somewhere it would be to do that sort of flying, flying the turboprops up here is way more fun, than anything I can begin to imagine in the lower 48, but there are some other "reasons" that I'm seriously looking into moving on, ones that I don't want to delve into here, but let's just say that I would rather disappear into a seniority list and have union reps more often than the opposite lately.
