Since it is so easy to crack up an airplane in the bush, I think I need to move on as soon as possible. By the way, which bristol bay air taxi blacklisted you? If they are still in business, I probably know them.
It's Iliamna Air taxi. I worked for them for over two years. During one of my interviews at Alaska Air the idiot HR interviewer asked me why I didn't stay longer at some of the jobs I had in Alaska. I tried to explain that they are dangerous and the living conditions could be harsh. She didn't get it. Those people are so out of touch. They have never been up there. None of my bush pilot friends made it either. I know more dead guys than ones who fly for the majors.
