flight dispatchers updating your weather/route
in flight on company freq.

Where do you get that from? Most of the 135 operators that carry checks have
dispatchers, but we don't get updated weather enroute from them. It's good ol'
flight watch or just talking to the controller.
Also, a majority of the airplanes are singles and light twins. Most do not have
things like radar and de-icing equipment can be marginal at best. Most don't
even have autopilots.

Companies like Ameriflight operate Metroliners single pilot with no autopilot,
radar, etc...talk about a handful at times.

Incidently, Airnet's fleet is mostly piston twins.
