Default Alpine Air

Anyone have info on Alpine Air, KBIL?

The usual, QOL, Pay, Management, Schedule? I have seen a few job postings for them over the last year is this due to growth or attrition?

Thanks

Thats the pay to play F/O program, I worked for them for 4 years as a mech in Hawaii, its no career but i thought it was a pretty good company. I was making 55K a year as a mechanic Not bad.

Its night cargo, so nuff said on that, i think they are going to try to take back the Hawaii contract, and if i remember correctly the pilots were making pretty good money, ill try to find out. Hawaii USPS contracts pay well.

I was told 50-75K a year for the line pilots, all depends on the route you fly. This was Hawaii.

I knew a guy doing the bis-gfk run. I also ran into guys working with alpine while I was in bis and the stories I heard were exactly what I would expect with a lowest bidder, Beach 99 night freight operation. Good place to cut your teeth with some great flying, but be prepared to accept some unique realities of how those types of operations run.

Un-educated remarks are a complete waste of anyone who's interested time.

Do they have a PFT program for First Officers or not? If they do I'd say everyone has been thoroughly educated on this place. Stay away.

We don't have one anymore. And when we did, new hires did not have to pay to be apart of the company. This was for those who wished to get twin turbine time to jump start their career when the airlines were hiring like crazy. There have been quite a few who have done this. Not saying I would've ever done it.
Fly Beech 99's and 1900's, maintenance department great, pay well above standards, good overhead. But, everyone has an opinion. The one's that matter are the one's who actually work for the company or have in the past.
Guess what, a lot of people are still applying for jobs here.
