Alaska 135 Operators
Recently on numerous job boards I've seen a lot of 135 operators in Alaska posting ads for pilot positions. I am doing research and evaluating options before applying.
Looking for recommendations on operators that would be the best to apply too and the operators to stay away from.
Thanks !
Current qualifications:
CFI, CFII, MEI
Commercial SEL, SES, MEL
1500TT, 115 MEL, 100 SES, 170 TW, 25 Turbine
A&P apprentice (testing soon)

If you're looking for a place with good travel benefits, Ravn/Ravn Connect will be your best bet.

Ketchikan has Taquan and Misty Fjords.
Most of those companies have a mix of moving people, freight, and air tours.
If you're looking to come up soon, you have likely already missed the hiring window for the summer.

Everts Air Cargo out of PAFA is another great place to work. One can matriculate over the the 121 side of the house to the MD-80 or the DC-6.
