I heard they just bought a few new Caravans. Any truth to that?
How long are the average upgrades from Otter SIC to PIC? And if you start in the Caravan can you move into SIC in the Otter if you want to?
If given the option who thinks it would be a better choice to go for the Caravan PIC over the Twin Otter SIC??

They do operate caravans. Only a one out BVU, and I believe the rest are out of GCN or Page. I am aware of one guy who was with the company started on the Caravan and recently transferred over to the right seat of the Otter.
To me the Mulit SIC seems more valuble. Atleast at the moment for me. Plus the crew environment I think is good experience for any future oppurtunities.

I heard that hiring for the season happen around winter time. Are they expecting to do any hiring for the 2013 season? If so, when do new hires typically report to start training?
I have heard that in the past a few hundred TT and 20-30 ME can get you the SIC job. If hiring occurs do you think this will still be the case? I'm thinking mins might be inflated right now because of high time CFIs needing XC for ATP, but at the same time the pay isn't stellar and not everyone is willing/able to relocate to BVU or GCN.
Thanks in advance for any info.
