In the 80's Bering lost a pilot who made a forced landing and died of hypothermia before he could be picked up the next day. They have an outstanding safety record for 35+ years of operation in western Alaska.

Yes, they now wear safety vests! Right as I was leaving, they sent out a memo saying they were making the vans IFR only for any airport >20 miles away with an approach, regardless of the weather. Not sure if they ever updated their books, though.

Despite that, it was still perfectly fine for a sled to launch in 600/2 SVFR and cruise around at 500'. So a less equipped aircraft with a less experienced pilot could still tuck along at 500' with his forehead in the soup, but a better equipped aircraft with a more experienced (and oftentimes multi) crew had to go IFR on a clear and a million day.

I don't know the solution, but what they did after the second crash of 2016 wasn't even close to right.

It's been almost five months since I left, though, so maybe things really are finally turning around. The pay has increased dramatically and I've known a few people to head back out for it.

Man, I had never heard that. Either way, their record is absolutely stellar. Like I said before, Ryan and Bering are where I would go if I ever decide to go back.

I guess Changes are not that dramatic haha, but those IFR procedures should help in my opinion

The grammar is a bit confusing but I assume you mean your a 250Hr pilot? I never met anyone there without one. They seem to put guys in the sled after flying right seat in the Casa which requires a multi. So you can apply and give it a shot but Ryan usually gets a good number of applicants so I assume they will pick the guy with the multi.

Default Hiring!

Ryan Air recently put out an SIC position for Anchorage, AK.

Minimum 250 TT with Comm Single and Multi. Is this for their Casa or the PC-12?

Pilot ? SIC

Most likely Casa. It's a lot of hard work up there but a great experience. I worked up on the North slope a few years back. Not for Ryan but another no longer in business AK pt135 company

I'd be surprised if they didn't start you in the casa. I think they bought a saab not to long ago to. I'll echo the last guy... Alaska flying is alot of work. Make sure you try the muktuk.

Used to fly buckets of Kimchi from Barrow to Point Hope to go with the muktuk. Sam & Lee's in Barrow would make it and ship out in 5 gallon buckets.

I believe they have a second saab now. They're hiring up to 6 SICs according to the job posting on their facebook page. It's possible that there may be an open spot on the saab, but I agree that most, if not all, will go to the casa
