Frontier Flying Service
Note: This post has nothing to do with Frontier Airlines! Just Frontier Flying Serivce in Alaska
I've read a few posts; and people seem to like their work up in Alaska.
My questions are these...
1. Do people commute to Frontier, Pen Air or ACE from the lower 48?
2. Does hand flying in Alaska in a BE-1900 really help/hurt your chances at a follow-on (read Netjets or FedEx/UPS)?
3. Other advice?
Cheers!

It is possible, but not reccomended to commute. The best bet at Frontier is to live in Fairbanks. We are not in CASS, so jumpseating can be challenging when flights are full.
I really hope that hand flying part 121 IMC in Alaska doesn't hurt your resume, I'm pretty sure it is the opposite.

I would think hand flying around in IMC w/ mountains would be valuable experience (and fun). Probably a dumb question in the first place. Why not do the hard things and let the rest sort themselves out?
