Wow! Why are you guys putting up with this BS?
Literally everybody is hiring right now. If you want to stay in AK check out Ravn\Hageland, Horizon, Northern Air Cargo, Everets, Grant, Ryan. In the lower 48 sky is the limit - all the regionals are hiring with fast upgrades, better pay, some with flows through agreements. We, pilots, don't have much control over management, but choosing to stay at a sh*tty company is just dumb, IMHO. By the way, that is why they (management) can keep doing things like what you described happening at PenAir right now. LEAVE!

Then it started with hey we NEED you to go down to PDX, this time for a few weeks, then a month... we were all told that this would stop by late december, however now it's only gotten worse. Many of us ANC guys are now down here in denver with long duty days, cancelations, living out of hotel for the month and most likely next month for all of us already here. QOL is non existant down here. Sure if I lived here it wouldnt be THAT bad but it's the whole principle of the matter. I came to penair to live in alaska and do something different. A huge change for anyone in that situation. Now we are being forced down to TDY for months on end just with a small chance of hope that maybe just maybe next months bid will be better. Well Feb bid is almost out and all of us will still be TDY down in denver. It's not good here. Huge difference between the pilots and managment. Anyone in training now or thinking of it, get out while you can.
