VFR operators
Do 135 VFR operators exist anymore in terms of hiring mins of 500 hours ? The ones I remember back then have all but shut down.

Got any names of reputable places in Alaska? Ideally looking for Juneau/Ketchikan area. Other locations possibly.

Alaska Seaplanes/Kalinin Aviation is a strong outfit. Realize you're expected to fly VFR all day in 500' and 2sm as permitted by FARs. You need to look OUTSIDE the airplane to do this safely and be primed to throttle back and make the 190-ish deg turn. Be sure to note the reciprocal heading before rolling in...screen watchers ball up airplanes.

Spoiler
We did a lot of Special VFR in Alaska back in the day, was it 1 mile and Clear of Clouds in the Control Zone and not much out of it? :eek: |
Thanks for the ideas. I’m assuming the the busy season is coming to an end? Or has it been steady year long now since Covid travel has gone nuts. Hiring picks up roughly what month in the spring ?

Yes all the seasonal AK work os winding down. Apply in November, follow up in January was the way to go in the past...there is year-round work to be jad but they'll want to see you perform in the Summer first. Perform as in not ball it up - pushing limits benefits nobody.
