Juneau and Ketchikan are two places that new pilots really shouldn't go, largely because you don't know what you don't know, and what you don't know there, can kill you.
It occasionally does.
If you're looking for ways to fly a few hours off, go tow banners, follow pipeines, toss jumpers, instruct, yada, yada, yada.

I don't totally agree with "shouldn't go", but the rest is true. There is certainly a steep learning curve flying in SE Alaska. I sometimes look back at my first year in Juneau and wonder how I survived. But 10 yrs later and I've finally had enough fun. LOL.

The season is pretty much over now so likely not much hiring going on until spring.

Yes there is no chance at getting on with a tour operator right now. Flying season is nearly over and we are all picking at the scraps to try to fly.
