I'm a DFW based captain Boutique...
The day before the novel rant above was posted we had to fire a DEN FO because no captain was willing to fly with him due to his
incredibly nasty attitude. Many many complaints :-(
So you do the math.
Things at Boutique are actually good with relatively few CDOs--way less than there used to be. They are flying more pax and routes than ever, so if that's going downhill, then ok dude!
More hiring and classes happening in the weeks and months to come. I will be here for at least another six months. There are rumors of flow through being established.

On the flow topic: we have the senior Vice President of United flight operations who flies on us regularly. Talking to him indicates United and BTQ are looking at sitting down and talk about what a relationship between the two companies may look like. Keep in mind United already has a flow straight to narrow bodies for ATCA (Lufthansa’s flight school) flight instructors in Arizona after they instruct there for 18 months and meet the ATP Mins.

If you stick around any Part 135 long enough, you'll find someone with a bitter pill.
What's sad though is that sometimes there's some truth in what they say, but if you are on this board long enough you know what you can and can't tolerate somewhere and if someone is embellishing a bit.
Even life at the beloved Cape Air isn't all perfect.

Actually know of at least two non pilots who are/have been doing that. 80+ hour weeks. 16+hour days. So he wasn't exaggerating on that aspect although the use of the word crew may have been misleading since that is generally used in reference to flight crew, not the ground crew/team

None of the PHX captains were willing to fly with him either...

Yo
No airline would establish a flow through with an airline that flies PC-12’s. The majority of guys there don’t even have 100hrs of Multi. I’m sorry, but that will never happen. When I was there rumors were spread about a flow to United. It’s ridiculous. Boutique is losing routes left and right. Lost Vernal, Moab, now Alamosa, Pendleton, Muscle Shoals with the DOT cuts due to poor load factor. They are losing bids everywhere as well. Get in and get out.
