I have 9 segments in 2015 to date on these old ,dirty ,dark and beat up aircraft. They are really showing their age and am hopeful that AC Express finds a suitable replacement soon.
Since props fly lower, thus less pressurized, I believe they are less affected by cycles than a jet. They are subject, to take-off and landing stresses (ok, more landing than take-off) but their cycle life is considerably longer than jets.
