Pros

Gama negative culture in the King air program is now gone with the removal of a few bad apples, company is making all the right moves to continue in the right direction.

Cons

King air Captains are seat locked with zero opportunity to move to different equipment, they continue to fill positions from out side the company. So much for a seniority list.
