Upgrade to PC-12 Captain isn’t that long. Once you are close to 1500 hours you can ask for a Captain evaluation. Once that is passed, and you have 1500 hours, you are normally put into the next Captain upgrade class. The long time is getting into the PC-24. Before Covid there were guys who were here 4 years who became jet FOs. Now it’s longer because they aren’t getting jets as fast. That may change if they get a lot of owners who want the -24 instead of the -12.

I notice that DFW is listed as a base. My question is wouldn't it make more sense for Planesense to use an airport like Addison (KADS) for traffic in and out of the Dallas area? I'm sure there's a reason I just don't know what it is.

As Beech Dude said the bases are selected so that crews can be airlined. The only bases that are operational bases are PSM and PDK. Also with the expansion this fall to include the West Coast in the operational area they are adding Boulder City, NV as a maintenance base and are looking to add DEN, LAS and PHX as crew base. They will not be adding any bases in CA due to tax reasons.
