The early analog PanAm A300's had a "flight engineer." They used to say that they read the newspaper between preflights (Airbus had designed them to be flown by a 2-man crew
). They had a (fully automated) FE panel!*?

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!

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.

From NACs website:
A bunch of FO positions on there. Only stated mins are ATP, although as has been said if you're not an Alaska guy already your chances are slim to none.
Effective 04/04/2011, Faxed or paper applications will no longer be accepted for new applicants. If you would like to apply for employment with Northern Air Cargo, all applicants are required to apply online using our secure job board. (Will launch in a new window.)
