Running one of these planes with 2 pilots sucks, no doubt about it. QOL improves by multiples when you up it to 3+ pilots....full time, not the infamous "we will use contract when needed"...my experience is that seldom works either.
Well said. The company I am going to work for is 5 pilots - 2 airplanes. It should provide a descent QOL for all five of us.
