Hey, I'm just telling your verbatim what the CP said to me in his office. What the heck does he know?

Hageland mins have not a lot to do with hours, but availability of aircraft. Most guys spend a winter or two in the 207 and have to pass the drinking buddy test (and the ability to stay sane in the Bethel pilot house, not an easy thing).

Grant is definitely a bit more low key in a lot of regards. You telling me that a 1200 hour guy would have issues going between ANC and HOM all day?
