Right now pilot hirings in Ak is at a standstill. Most of the air taxi's have scaled down and have crew returning from last year or they are waiting until mid June to see how the tourist season developes before doing new hires. Not a pretty picture at all, especially when operators are getting a 100 or more resumes for a single pilot position, when one comes up. And most of those resumes are from atp's that don't have a seaplane rating or Alaska time and don't even know what a DHC 2 Beaver is!

On the otherhand if you have multi-engine with DC-3 tailwheel time, Desert Air in Anchorage wants you!! Thier number is 907-243-4700.

I've been out of pilot work for 19 months now and the prospects don't look good.
