If I had gotten into the Industry five years ago, as opposed to last year, you would have found me flying the Bush in Alaska, absolutely no doubt about it...

Flying for the Airlines then, for me at least, is bitter-sweet. While I'm following one dream of flying the Jets, I've lost another - one that I am thinking more and more that I was born for. Just prior to getting my CFI's last year, and subsequently an immediate job in the right seat of an RJ, I had made a trip up to Alaska to scope out the country that was calling to me. Almost didn't come back.

But I did...and so I guess I have to wait until I can get myself aboard one of the several carriers that fly out of ANC...

To all those who are on the fence about chasing this side or that of Flying, give it a second thought. Though I wouldn't trade where I am now for anything, I would have said the same thing being a Bush Pilot LoL...just a matter of circumstance I suppose.

Yes, seniority may be everything, but like a few posters earlier on this thread stated, it's not everything.

Best of luck and fly safe!
