From my experience the King Air folks seem to believe the 1900 is a different airplane. But that may have changed in the 5 years since I last looked at King Air jobs.

Training is unpaid. You must not be scared away by hard muscle work. You (normally) receive a loaded aircraft in ANC, but unloading is done by the crew or at least with the help of the crew (unpaid). If you are required to load the aircraft in an outstation (or in ANC for some reason) you will receive extra pay for that (lots of salmon boxes).
There is definitely good sides to it, you are home in ANC every night and if your schedule has you leave in the middle of the night, you are off work early in the afternoon. Yes, the 14 hour max. duty time is observed.
Don't know if and what minimum numbers they have. Keep updating your resume often to make sure you are on the stack when they are interviewing for a class, which is not too often a year. They seem to be a decent company to work for. It's multi-engine, turbo-prop, multi-crew, lots of real IFR flying, what more can you ask for? Surprised they don't make you pay to fly there, right?

Yep and during salmon season they may call you in on Sunday.
3am departures, they fly all the time. Upgrades mums will probably be close to 2500-3000tt. With your tt it will be awhile. You should go for it. With the pay and cost of living in ANC you will need a roommate.

I think there is another Ace thread on here somewhere that I posted some details but I will just give them here. I don't work there but had an offer to after flying in the bush. They still hire low time commercial guys but with upgrade mins at 2500 it will take awhile to upgrade. It's a super laid back awesome group of young guys but you will work for your money. Lots of months you will have actual block times of 140 hours. If I could get my girl to move to Anchorage I would have taken the job. And last I heard they did a class every 3 months or as needed.
