Actually there are plenty of entry level wheeled jobs in Juneau every summer. It's where I started and still work. Once people know you, it's possible to get a chance on a floatplane with a fresh ASES rating. It's a very small group in Juneau where everybody is out to help new guys/gals make a go of it and stay safe.

Just remember no triple mailer or box of chips is worth getting in trouble or worse for.

JB, you can always be counted on to be the diplomat. Your consistency makes me wonder if someone pees in your Wheaties every morning.

Good stick and rudder skills and common sense are your friend up here. Not everyone is cut out for flying in Alaska but you'll figure that out day one. So hit 500 hours and come up and give it a shot. Best decision in my opinion! Build hours fast for good money and build a great resume.
Good Luck!
Tell that to the girl who flew Wings 62 into the ridge in 15. Just because you've been lucky doesn't mean you're good. Talk to us in 5 years when you've scared the crap out of yourself a few times.

Now you're unhappy that someone has agreed with you. There is no pleasing you. Perhaps you should think about that before you post next.
