They fly a bunch of Beech 1900s around to BFE-type locations in the midwest and west. No lav, no overhead bins, no FA, heck no real cockpit door Always wanted to give them a shot.

Greetings from the less-than-impressive Plymouth Rock. Mother overheard speaking to her child: "See the 1620? That's how we know this rock has been here at least 400 years."
