Frontier Alaska is the name of the the combined Frontier Flying Service and Hageland Aviation. I flew for Hageland a few years back. A great experience, but nothing from then would help you now. Different employees, management, and now merged owner group.

I have a friend that went there. He started in Fairbanks on Jan 07th and left Jan 31. I don't think that the minus forty winters suited him. He did say he liked the company just not cut out for Alaska.

Yeah that's generally what I've been hearing, either you love it or you hate it up there. I'm willing to give it a shot. I've read some of the other Alaska threads on here but I was wondering if anyone had any new info or some kinda interview gouge.

True, but remember that FAI is a completely different animal than ANC. Frontier will certainly keep you in the more extreme parts of the state than PennAir or ERA ...

Fontier has a base in ANC as well, so it could go either way

True, but I'm just saying if you look at their respective route maps you'll see that Frontier goes north of the Alaska range, and that's where the game changes ...

Aleutians are easy for everyone (Pen Air). Look at the Valdez app and missed (ERA). Slope work is hard and takes nads but the clouds don't have goats. Frontier runs a great operation but we all have different challeges here.

I flew for Hageland and Frontier. You will be based in Fairbanks as Anchorage is relatively senior. Lots of flying, over 100 hours a month easily, my pr was 160 and change. You will fly all over the state sans the Aleutians and southeastern.

Go for it, you won't regret it. And besides sliding a 1900 down an icy runway with a wicked crosswind using power to maintain centerline is something everyone should experience.
