Info on Hageland Aviation?

[yellow]

Just wondering if any Alaska Pilots have any info on Hageland Aviation. I'm looking to upgrade from my position here in southeast AK. Any info on Pay, If there is company housing, benefits, schedule and QOL would be greatly appreciated.

250 a day. 15 on 15 off. Jumpseat with Alaska, others? Looooooong upgrade from 207. Offer Medical. You pay a small amount for company housing. QOL of life is what you make of it!

How long is Looooong and what do you upgrade to? Do they hire FO's for the 1900 or are all the FO's guys who upgraded?

1500tt+ works. Alaska time can change that. They do hire FO's. FO'S in the B1900 & CE208. FO upgrade comes from a move into the 207. They fly Caravans, Twin Caravans, Beech 1900's, Cessna 207's. From what I have seen. Looooong upgrade out of the 207 is 2-10 years.

Yeah, they have 3 of only 8 Cessna F406s registered in the U.S.. You would become one of an elite few U.S. pilots who have time in that aircraft. Sounds like all training is provided in house through FSI courses that were set up years ago. It's along way to Wichita and they are probably afraid their guys won't come back.

Last time I heard anything about Hageland, they were running a two-week-on-two-week-off pilot work schedule (twin-engine) at about $4000 a month. I don't know if this work schedule and pay scale also applies to their single-engine operations. If you were based in Northwest Alaska somewhere, rather than Anchorage, they would probably provide some kind of housing. But with a two-week-on-two-week-off schedule, you might end up having to rent a room in Anchorage to live in on your days off.

The best thing to do would be to call them and talk to the Chief Pilot or the Director of Ops and ask them the questions you need answers to. They may or may not provide all the information you seek, but it seems really unlikely that you would jeopardize your chances of getting a job with them by asking the questions. Take a look at my website, www.flyalaska.com, for possible other options.
