If you are headed that way and have a choice I'd be after BIL first. GGW and GDV are pretty tough places to live. HVR isn't too bad, they have a Wal-Mart and a few places to eat. The little JC there helps make it a fun rural town. Have fun at the Shanty

The BIL base went more senior because it's one of the few hub bases Cape Air has. The outstations went much more junior for the most part.

Hopefully those SDY based people did their research! Ouch!

By the way, welcome aboard!
