    When's The Last Time You Had To Hold?

    Alternates for Barrow include Deadhorse (PASC), Bettels (PBET), and Kotz. All require lots and lots of fuel. However we would keep track of the current conditions at Wainwright (PAWI), 75 miles away and Nuiqsit (PAQT) 110 miles away, neither are legal alternates because of TAFs and GPS...

    Flying to Barrow, AK

    Barrow is a one day trip, come in on the morning jet and leave on the evening jet. If you decide you MUST spend the night, stay at the airport inn. DO NOT stay at the Top of the World Hotel next to the bank. I arrived in Barrow one January evening and finally escaped just under 3 years...

    Flight, already late, diverted to pick up Bush twins

    Pasc You are correct, the gravel strip is now closed, but still lit. They turned the section directly across from the MCC into a helo pad, mostly because the medics are based in the MCC now and it makes transports easier. Back to the origional subject, Re-routes are not uncommon.

    Flight, already late, diverted to pick up Bush twins

    You caught me there A Squared. AS used to use PUB on their bag tags for Prudhoe Bay. Checking their website, thay have started calling it SCC for Deadhorse, like the rest of the world. However, you are correct it would be a lousy ride in a -200 all the way to Pueblo. But there is always the...

    Flight, already late, diverted to pick up Bush twins

    Alaska Airlies does this all the time. When the PUB flight is canceled because of MX, the BRW plane will go ANC-FAI-PUB-BRW. No big deal, makes everyone a minimum of an hour late, but gets everyone moved. It's happened a couple of times in the last week or two.

    TSA - never accused of being mental giants

    I asked this because the TSA people in rural AK are almost all TDY. They collect both per diem and COLA. The government is putting them up in a hotel, with a kitchenette. One guy I met from Vegas even paid off his house with the COLA pay. This didn't make sense to me, because his per diem...

    TSA - never accused of being mental giants

    Last week I was droping a friend, who is a muni cop, off for a flight. He checked his gun case. When the TSA searched his other bag, they had a major problem with the ammo being in the magazines. He was told that it had to be in a container designed for carrying ammunition. I thought that was...

    Ideas for Increasing Contract Flying

    Asquared, I don't want to live here for the rest of my days, but there is a little more to Barrow than you mention here, and it really isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Though it can be pretty bleak here in the winter time (SEPT-MAY). But there are some decent restruants, a couple of...
