BIL is the crew base for MT ops, since it proved less difficult to have crews overnight at outstations than find permanent lodging for them.

Colgan used to think they were saving a buck with no hotels either. But then when the morning guy bangs out sick and you have no one on reserve, you end up paying the price for the cancelled flight.
