At least the rumor in the bush is that NAC is a great company to work for. They no longer have DC-6s but four 737-200s. Not too long ago they had one running charters out of Loredo, TX - but I'm not sure if that is still happening.
NAC is CASS, QOL seems pretty good (city based, two runs a day usually), and they will not even bother looking at your resume if you are not: currently an Alaska resident, flying in Alaska, or have significant former Alaska flying experience. Good luck to all, but NAC is a goal of a significant portion of the Alaska pilot population. Unless you currently fly for Ryan, Era (conglomerate), Grant, ACE, Bering, PenAir, and maybe Yut, I wouldn't expect too much, but here's to hoping! |

Wien had FE's on the 737 as well.

I didnt work as a pilot, but as a ramper. I was very impressed with the company.
They have just aquired a 737-300F, and have another 737-200 sitting on the property that will be converted at some point in time. |

Does anybody have any inside contact info for NAC they may be willing to PM to me? I tried to drop a resume by this morning, but got stopped up at the front desk and told that all hiring must be done online. She was actually very nice and I think would have sent me through to see the CP, but he was not in the office today.
Right now they have two 737s, one -300 and one -200 floating around down in "America". I think they work two on two off, but I am not sure. |

Also, if you're prior service (esp. w/ C130 time) per their website Lynden is hiring two FOs. |

TF - thanks for the point-out! I dropped off my app this afternoon - I don't have any Herc time, but maybe they'll think I'm worth training up ...
Last person I know that got hired was an Everts DC-6 Capt. that sometimes posts here. |
