Frontier Flying Service, Alaska

Anybody know much about this outfit? Work rules, etc.? Training? A buddy of mine is considering them. Sounds like a good gig, but I am not as confident in it as he is.

Ive heard a lot of good things about them.. 2 on, 2 off, They have b1900c's and navajos. I guess they put most people right seat in the 1900s and then put them in the jo for pic ifr. I guess you can stay in the 1900 too. Pay is good but they merged with Hageland up here so I think the pay is gonna change, for the worse I heard. I haven't flown for them so this is all just what I heard. Good luck

I talked to them about a month ago, when they ran the last class. Supposed to have another one in a few months.

I had heard something about a class this summer sometime also. The website appears to not be current on the employment page, but it does mention that they have merged with Hageland to form Frontier Alaska. Hopefully the pay doesn't take a turn for the worse.

If you want adventure, go to work for these guys. Nothing like flying to the villages from the mighty metropolis of FAI. 90+ in the summer and -60 in the winter.

You'll love it.
