K2/Rust

Starting pay, 55 an hour. No housing, medical, etc. 3-4 + years could make it a full time job. Best if you are an A&P. Fly the summer, wrench the winter away. I would rate them good. Mins. 2000tt. 500 tailwheel. Good if you have mountain, 185, Beaver, exp.
Floats, 2000tt, 250 float. 185,206,Beaver time helps.
Late April through Sept. is the season.

Yute, 40-55 hour to start. No guarantee. Normal schedule is two weeks on two off. Company housing, company van to share. Medical? Jumpseat on Alaska.

Hageland, 165-185 daily rate. Two on, Two off. Company housing, share the van, medical, jumpseat with Alaska and a few others. Fleet- 207,208,406, a couple of 1900's. Recently merged with Frontier. All could change. Make more money when you get into the IFR birds.
