What are upgrade times as well as reserve times? Do you guys have preferential hiring with Alaska Airlines? And do you guys have cancellation pay?

Anyone have any idea if this is a 15/15 sched? I might be interested in a commutable spot to put my -8 type back to work. Kinda miss the arctic. How is the jumpseating from Outside, anymore? It was pretty tough a few years back. I remember having to put quite a few trips on the CC back to Kotz from the lower states.

Thanks,
Frozen Ronin

Flying for these guys would be excellent prep for moving on to Alaska Airlines. AS loves guys with experience flying in the state of Alaska.

- Upgrades are 5-6 years right now. Maybe longer, maybe shorter. We have a joint seniority list with Hageland on our 135 side and those pilots have flow through rights over new hires, so its really hard to guess.

- No reserve lines per se, you’ll fly right away.

- No preferential hiring with AkAir, though that’s where a fair number of folks end up going after 6-7 years.

- We "sort of" have cancellation pay. It exists in writing, but with many well used caveats.

- No 15/15 schedule. Monthly preferential bids; I average 11 days off a month, usually 5/2.

- Haven't seen anyone commuting. The schedule changes multiple times daily, so you'd need to be in Anc in order to react.

Hope that answers the questions you guys have.

What about commuting from the peninsula and jumping on company flights out of ENA up to ANC?

They'd probably let you try it, hungry for pilots at the moment.

That being said, it's been tried before. Realistically, at the bottom of the seniority list you'd be getting the first or last ena flight of the day which kinda makes it tough.

Last person who commuted from ena made it 2 and a half months before finding an apt in anc.

I think one guy drives his truck and camper to work from the Peninsula.

Copy all, thanks for the insight. Used to be a guy could jumpseat at will, and with a 20/10 or a 15/15 sched, there were plenty of options for having a life. Even if you were racked in Emo, or someplace really out there.

Y'all stay safe, keep your head on a swivel.
