ACE is one of the best companies for low time pilots to get hours and experience. It's hardball, IFR/VFR 135 in Alaska. If you work there, you'll work long days on little sleep, throwing boxes, loading and unloading, and for a small paycheck. That being said, it's one of the fastest career building jobs there is, and a mostly decent place to work.
Robbie, the chief pilot is a decent guy, kind of a rarity in that position. If you go in as a low time applicant, make it really clear that you understand you'll be working terrible shifts, you won't have any problem throwing boxes and working hard, and you're excited to have the opportunity to learn from the best. He gets lots of low time applications, so you'll have to do your best to stand out.

ACE is a great place to build turboprop experience and guys from there have a lot of credibility with the ANC cargo operators like Lynden, NAC and Everts Air Cargo.
That experience wouldn't hurt you if you wanted to go to Alaska Airlines, either. They LOVE guys with Alaskan flying experience.

The idea of flying with ACE is extremely exciting, is there any chance anyone still with ACE might be interested in helping move my resume along in the stack. I applied with ACE a week ago and email the CP but haven't heard anything back yet. Long days, flying across Alaska is a dream for me.
