Actually, we do have map mode. At least, we call it map mode. Maybe we're not talking about the same thing here, though. Regardless, I still kinda prefer the standard HSI arrow and don't use it a whole lot. None of our planes have GPS/RNAV, none of the 1900's, anyway...not sure about the Brasilias. The majority of the 1900's do not have a right side flight director, either.

Our contract is not pro-rated...so if you leave during month 14, it's a $7,500 hit you'll take to have the privilege to do so. It only comes into effect if you quit, and you don't have to pay anything before you get hired.
Flying in the west is fun, but I'd say that, for the most part, it's relatively tame, perhaps with the exception of the Telluride flying.
