It's all just a joke, you are gonna get there and they will say your ground is delayed for at least 2 months

Never thought about stand-up comedy? ;)

I just did a full week up in Bethel and loved it. I'm headed back up this Thursday to do my first full two week shift.

In my first week, I averaged 5 hours of flying per day, but that included two days of training/checkride and a few mornings of waiting for weather and/or mx. The days where I wasn't sitting around in training or waiting for weather/mx, I logged 6.5+ hours per day.

Its probably the best option as far as experience and development of good decision making skills. Your skills will literally double your first shift. Now if you learned at a 141 in the south with zero weather experience and never flown through a cloud it will be a tough transition. VFR in Alaska is basically 500' and 2 miles and you will shoot many special vfr approaches with 1 mile visibility. There will be many days Guys have to go missed on an IFR approach and you will fly right in on a special(thank god for Sierra arrivals and departures or Bethel would be a cluster). So if you don't have a good instrument scan, I would develop one.

As mentioned, we're doing a lot of 600-2 VFR flying. First day I was a bit skeptical (as any low time pilot should be) but it really is flat as sh!t up there so you're good if you keep the blue side up. For when we did file, I ended up logging around 12 hours of actual IMC and 10 approaches last week.

Can somebody provide me with the minimums for pilot position with Ravn/Hageland? College kid with wet commercial looking to get on as SIC and build some time up in Alaska possibly.

This has been answered multiple times. At least 5 people in my class got hired with less than 300TT.

Not a redbird. It's technically an FAA Level B FFS, but it doesn't really do a great job of mimicking the actual plane. That being said, it was great for learning the flows and getting used to the cockpit. Everything felt the same when I got in the actual plane for the first time.

+90h per month, dang that's good. Will that slow down a little bit during thw hardcore winter?
