Do whatever it takes to get to 500. That's the magic number to get hired for an Alaska VFR operation. Everybody will start posting job openings in February for next summer. Classes usually start early April. You'll be flying the line by the end of the month or early May. I know one floatplane operator already posting for next summer. They were short pilots all summer this year. Good pay and excellent equipment too.
