To all you who snail mailed or faxed their resume and cover letter in... What was the time frame you all heard back in? I tried calling the office to check on it, but they said they don't take calls on applications. It's been little over two weeks. I snail mailed it. Lol Should I fax it too? Hageland to Ravn has been my #1 company since mid instrument rating!

Best bet is to have someone walk in a resume. They typically only contact people when they are ramping up for a class.

For folks applying at the various Alaska-based 135 companies: be patient, polite, and persistent when following up on your application. That being said, none of the companies have dedicated recruiters, and the person who reviews your resume will also have dozens of other responsibilities which may make it hard to get back to you in a timely manner.

So don't get antsy if you don't get a response as quickly as you might like. Eventually, your resume will get read and dispositioned, and you should get a response.

I second this. Also it's very cyclical and hiring season is beginning, being available at the right time and place can make a big difference. Also knowing someone who can walk in a resume makes a big difference.

For those that are in the area and looking for something to fill the gap as well as put in a good word with Hageland, I have an idea.
A company called Fly Around Alaska (formerly Artics Air Academy) is in good standing with Hageland. They guarantee a interview with Hageland for their commercial/instrument students that want one and are working on a guaranteed spot with Hageland upon receiving these ratings.
They operate a Cherokee Six for mountain tours of Denali and are growing rapidly, which means 135 and instructor pilots are needed. They offer their instructors and 135 pilots a position with Hageland if they prove themselves with Fly Around Alaska.
Might be something to look into if you need a job in the mean time.

Hope this helps

Thanks guys for the response! I just saw this... They emailed me shortly after that message, but I'm in this aerial survey contract and they are really keeping me till the end-end lol. I emailed them today though! Hopefully I'm headed up that way next month to get a float rating with my Dad, so I'll stop by the office an say hi with an updated resume in hand.

But low time pilots reading this-- Do aerial survey for a season, then go to the 135 jobs. It's great experience and you will gain so much confidence. Its painful being gone so much, but you really get to see a lot and are thrown into a lot of stressful situations that will make you a great pilot and great pilot is the goal!

I heard the way to apply to Hageland is by emailing Ravn pilot recruitment, and the application will get where it needs to go. Can anyone PM me a email address, by chance?
