This opening is for a PIC position at our KTVF base (Thief River Falls, MN). Our pilots work a two week on two week off rotation schedule, with travel being during your two weeks on. Paid travel to KTVF is on Sunday, and paid travel home is Saturday two weeks later.
Once in KTVF, newer two bedroom apartments, as well as crew cars, are provided for our pilots. The flight schedule is 2 or 3 legs a night, starting with a report time of approximately 8 pm local, and arriving back in KTVF typically sometime between 5 am and 7 am the next morning. Depending on the run you are on for the week, you fly either Monday night through Friday morning, or Monday night through Saturday morning.
We typically do not use our pilots on the weekends, except if you are on the Friday night flight you'll be finished Saturday morning when you land. Once released for the weekend you are free to do as you like, you must just report back Monday night at 8pm. This job does not involve netting or strapping the cargo. You simply monitor the loading of the aircraft, and fly it to the hubs of our partners.
