I grew up in the shadow of Alaska Airlines in the Seattle area. I also was an Alaskan bush pilot and as such flying for Alaska Airlines is a natural dream. AS also has a Seattle base that often goes junior. AS use to mostly have trips of shorter duration and mostly kept to the western US. A lot of that stuff has changed now but most is still there.


Overall though I remember being a 24 year old Cessna 207 pilot in King Salmon and would stand on the ramp in awe as the jets would come and go and would think " man by dinner time those guys will be back in the world while I rot here eating caribou helper, powdered milk and pilot bread.
