Jumpseat Destination: Alaska
 

Hey folks,
I chose the road less traveled, and fly for an outfit in NW Alaska, where I get to see some incredible scenery, fly over herds of Carribou and Muskox, drop off fishermen at little villages with crazy fly fishing opportunities. Not that I have much time to enjoy it, but I sure get a kick out of being in the middle of it. I enjoy traveling down south, to family and friends with the time I have off. This brings me to the offer: We're CASS, and are accepting jumpseat agreements from other CASS airlines. As line pilots, we need those who are interested in accessing our wilderness areas to drop a line to their jumpseat coordinators and let 'em know if you're interested in us. That way, I get to travel down south a little easier!

Check out the opportunities around Nome, Kotzebue and Unalakleet, Alaska. Then check out our webiste at Bering Air Alaska. If you're interested in coming out for a great dose of wilderness, hunting, fishing, kayaking, camping.... a few words to your J/S coordinator can land you an agreement on our carrier! There are also other carriers out here that can get you where you want to go, don't forget about them!

Thanks,

Kevin

Congrats on getting CASS. Commuting to Alaska without can be a real pain in the arse...I've done it and wouldn't wish it on my enemies.

I know the Frontiers have agreements with each other, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to start there.

Thanks, Checko! I'm waiting on word from little Frontier, but they seemed interested. They have a nice FAI/OTZ connection.

Jump seating to and from ANC is tough!!! Some of us actually buy tickets during the summer: leave plenty of time and always have two back-up plans... If I were you, I wouldn't make any use of jump-seats until you have at least Alaska Airlines (maybe you do already).

Good luck!!
