Yes. And most homes have running water and flush toilets. Most homes get water delivery and sewage pumping services
What is a typical day like? Fly from sunup to sundown?
Sunup to sundown in the winter: definitely. In the summer: not possible.
What is the initial training and IOE like at Grant?
No different than any other Bethel-based 135 operation

In my experience, things are going well. I was part of a relatively large hiring group, but we've also had a steady stream of people leaving, whether for the regionals, wasn't for them, or those let go.
Seems like morale, at least in Bethel, is better than the Hageland guys next door. We average about 45-75 hours a month, depending on airframe, base, and weather.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.
