Thank you in advance
I have been talking to the Chief pilot and he's says very slow out of Boulder City and the Grand Canyon. They are looking to do charter work overseas and also try to get back doing cargo runs. I know a good amount of pilots are waiting to get called backed.

Called back? Were there furloughs at GCA?

Yes they furloughed everyone at GCA when pandemic hit. They got a cargo contract out of Denver for UPS for a couple of months. Now they have a 2 caravans running but I believe with 3 pilots recalled in Boulder City and Grand Canyon South Rim.

Default job doable for family person

Wondering if anyone able to provide information about how the living situation is for someone that has a family but could hop on a flight from PDX to LAS. What the QOL there and is there a crash pad there for someone that can't easily relocate for the time?

What the training like and do they do their best to try and keep the person there to help out with operation or is it gear toward you passing as fast as possible and if you not able to pass, they send you home?

Been thinking of doing scenic tour and learn what it like to do flying.

Thanks for your information

Hey so I left there back in 2020 and I had two kids. I lived up at the Grand Canyon for 3 years. For me it was a 25 min drive working 5/2 and 4/3. We had a couple of guys that lived in PHX that would commute up and they would live in the town of Tusayan under company housing. He would be very tired and not home a lot. As for you I'm not sure if they would let you stay at the crash pad in BVU. GCN would be your best chance for commuting wise.

Training when I went through was very straight forward. Learn all the systems, flight train for 3 or 4 days then so the checkride. If you failed they would help you get to get through it. It all comes down on you.
