Beech 99 pilots get a LOT of days off, from what I've seen from accross the ramp lol. I believe they fly to shorter strips (Berens River, Sandy Lake). The 99 pilots I know are NOT cross trained on other aircraft and don't get very many hours. Also, I believe if you get on the 99 at Perims, you have to go Metro FO before you can go Metro captain, however, that is purely speculation and someone who actually knows might be able to help you out with that one.
