I'm committed to a skydiving operation until October of this year,
but after that Alaska is definitely on my list of places to look for work! I took a summer and drove to Alaska a few years ago and just bummed around, fell in love with the place and can't wait to get back!
I'm currently at just under a thousand hours, should have close to 1500 by fall, and have my AP/IA with 25 years of experience in the industry. Any recommendations on places to apply to? Or areas to live? I'm currently thinking the South East or Anchorage, but I'm trying to get as much information as possible.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

It was one of the best experiences of my career, and I would recommend it to anyone who's able to go. Just some food for thought. Keep it up guys!
