Alaska

[tjmoser]

Air Arctic is a Navajo operation owned by Northern Alaska Tour Company. This flying used to be done under contract by Frontier Flying Service, until NATC got their own 135 certificate a few years ago. I flew on this contract one summer when Frontier still had it; flying tourists to Deadhorse, Anaktuvik Pass and Coldfoot. The highlight was the evening tour to Coldfoot- we had about 3 hours on the ground there, and could enjoy the all you can eat prime rib buffet at the lodge every night.

The owners of NATC are great guys, and I'd recommend this operation if you are looking for something like this

I can't say enough about my experience flying in Alaska. Just like an above poster said it was the best job he's had. I totally agree. Flying there is very rewarding and you won't realize it until you take one of the many boring jobs in the lower 48.

I'm not sure what the current hiring climate is but if you're standing there and they need someone you will get a shot (providing you meet the mins). It may cost you some dough but I bet you can pull it off. Best of luck to you.

Lots of good intel there guys, keep it coming cause I'm still looking. That PenAir site sure looks good. Are there any PenAir guys on this thread? Anybody know about the operation? Any other companies that look like good career choices? I'm not looking to go to the biggies but would like to find a nice place to settle in. Thanks.
