Seems like that rumor goes around 2-3 times a year. I’ll believe it when I see it.

That’s a new one for me. Where did you hear that?

The outlook looks good for Grant in the coming months. I suspect many laid off Hageland pilots and employees will be welcomed aboard.

Anyone have any updated knowledge on Grant? I've hit the 500hr mark and have always been excited about the prospect of working in Alaska.

Anyone currently employed there willing to reach out via PM?

I don’t have any inside scoop on Grant, usually companies start hiring soon here in the spring.

Current Pilot
 

I currently fly for Grant. I have worked for Grant for almost a decade. I was here when paychecks were bouncing and parts were in short supply. Times have changed. We have over 20 caravans now, some sleds, some airvans, a few working Navajos and usually one of our King airs is up.

Entry level: sled or airvan pilots will be two on two off in Bethel. Some pilots will eventually go to King Salmon, Emmonak or Dillingham to fly the sled if Grant sees fit. Pay is good now meaning most people can at least pay their bills as an entry level pilot. The pay sheet on this website is up to date. Count on getting anywhere from 10-20 hrs of bonus a shift. Sometimes more in the summer but everything is weather predicated.

Caravan drivers: usually get upgraded at atp mins. Bonus is usually 20-30 hrs per shift. Most stay in Bethel as the other stations require less pilots and could be competitive to be placed there.

Flying on the chain (Aleutians) : this is our Navajos and king airs with the exception of king salmon which runs caravans and sleds. Usually more experience required but not always. Bonus varies on weather last shift I got 25 hrs bonus sometimes I only get 10-15.

Overall Grant is an awesome place to fly. There are a lot of flying challenges as any Alaska pilot knows. Company issues are to be expected as with any place of employment but Grant cares about it’s people and it’s customers. They have always treated me right and if your excited about an adventure it’s a good place to be.

If your already an Alaska pilot you know the deal. Some love it some hate it. Shoot me an email if you ever have some questions. I’d love to help in anyway I can.

Hi all. I'm a CSEL-IR with 620tt looking to start a flying career in Alaska. About three weeks ago I applied for all of Grant's openings for C207 and GA8 pilots. Seems like working for Grant would be a perfect fit for me. Curious if anyone here has any info they can share about how things are going at Grant, are they doing a lot of hiring, what working for them is like these days, and what kind of pilots/people they are hiring for these C207 and GA8 jobs? I'll gladly take any info and connections you have!
