I expect it's the same kinda things as with Ice Road Truckers, Ice Pilots, and other such shows: not every day is such life-and-death high drama, most days are probably pretty tedious, and a lot times the drama has to be embellished a bit for TV and compacted into one-hour episodes. Sure, there is real danger and some REAL drama at times, but it's not 24/7.
And keep in mind, these guys aren't doing this 365 days a year - it's seasonal work, same as IRT, so they have to make enough money in a short span to live on for the rest of the year.
