I would still say DEN is the most junior. They keep getting more and more routes from Great Lakes. If you wanna see the routes flown, check out the route map on the Boutique Air website. It was just recently updated with the new Colorado routes. https://www.boutiqueair.com/p/schedule
Depending on staffing at your base, you can expect ~12 days off a month. Each trip (as of right now) is either a day trip, an overnight, or a CDO. You're home every day. Each base is this way as far as I know. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
In regards to the King Airs, the more routes we bid on with a 350 and secure, the more that come online. So it's anyone's guess right now how many we will have. We'll see how that unravels. Denver is the only base with them right now.

Career Change?
Any thoughts on Boutique as a "first stop-last stop" career change? I could see this type of flying working well as a 10-12 year countdown to the "big green pasture" of retirement. I have the ratings and a bit over 320 hours of flight time; mostly garnered in focused 141 training, and most of it not very current. Obviously this path would require some near-term sacrifice and training, (to even try) not to mention some moderately painful mid-term income realignment if it were to be a "go". I may be nuts, or just overly optimistic, so looking for different points of view. I appreciate your time and the information you all have posted thus far.
