I know the program yeahbutstill mentions. I have 6 or so friends I went through flight school with flying for them. The gig in question is with Hagelands Flying Service, a subsidiary of Ravn Alaska. You'll start out in the C208 right seat, and move pretty quickly to the B1900 right seat with your multi experience. Of my 6 friends who have all been there less than a year, 4 are in the 1900 now, and one who has only been there for a month or two is talking about going over to it pretty quick with way less multi time than the OP has. The four who are in it now were only held up in the C208 for a few months because they didn't have their multi, and moved over within a couple months of getting it. I'm a 700 hour CFI/CFII with my AMEL rating, and I sometimes wish I'd gone their route-- tons of flying (60-70+ hours a month), all real-world airline type experience, a nice schedule (2 weeks on/2 weeks off) with jumpseat privileges (they all jumpseat from the lower 48), company paid housing in Alaska, and pretty decent pay especially once you get to the 1900. Not to mention they don't have to deal with student's antics. Give it a look, and PM me if you want some more info!
