The channel approaches and the old “12 mile rule” on 250 below 10000 (it was in our FOM in the distant past) are a distant second to old-school Interisland ground ops as far as making 20 minute turns work on a regular basis. That is a distant and bygone world!
When Line Service was cut in the name of being “industry standard to save money”, there were many who saw that as a harbinger of a future sale. They were right![/QUOTE] I miss the bygone world that you and I got to enjoy. A time when our respective companies let pilots be pilots. We all had good work ethic, a gitter done attitude and going to work each day was a lot of fun. We used to know how to actually fly in a 200. PSG to WRG comes to mind. Something less than 15 minutes on the blocks. Southbound down Dry Straight, around 1,500 feet, 300ish plus knots, VFR while watching some of God's best work go by the front window. Good times were had by all and I'm grateful that I got to experience it before the world and the industry changed. |

q can’t fit much cargo pit could barley fit a full boat worth of bags during non ski season, during ski season we were stuffing bags in the cabin to fit all the skis, great for quick turns and frequency but won’t be able to move any cargo, can barley fit 76 people’s worth of bags.
over head bins are too small so basically anything that’s not a small suit case or back back has to go in the pit flew the Q for 5 years that’s why the Q base in ANC failed could not fit all the pax checked bags in Alaska and 0 cargo can be shipped on them. No belly stowage small Pit by the tail I don’t think it would do well with interisland due to my assuming we also make money on shipping cargo between the islands |

Amen brother.
If I’m not mistaken this only went away in SE AK because of the actions of a few individuals who kept setting the GPWS off, right before retirement. Per the usual we only did this to ourselves… |

Probably something made up. There an amazon contract rumor out there for whatever you want to believe. Just pick your favorite or even make up your own and share to your next 10 FOs. Bonus points if your own rumor makes it back to you.
