There's a reason they only recently got passenger service back.

If I ever went back to flying in Alaska I would go back to work for Bering Air in Nome with Ryan Air being my second choice.
Yep- even with the raises Hageland made, I know a guy who picked Ryan over Hageland to drive a sled. I wouldn't hesitate to send anybody I know looking for work in AK their direction. And I'm definitely in the same boat as you re: Bering if I decide to go back. I actually turned down a trip to Kotz to check things out with them to head Outside for a bit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Bering has ever had a fatal accident?
