Default PennAir?

Does anyone know anything about Peninsula Airways in Alaska? I've heard they're hiring people into the Saab 340 and gaining routes from Era? They are no where on APC.

As I am told the pay is 1200 base with 12 bucks an hour. I think that's elsewhere on the site too. There is an Oct. 2 class, then nothing till February is the word on the ramp now. Funny, I get different info all the time from different Pen pilots. I know there's some on here...

ACE (Alaska Central Express) in Anchorage, B1900s, has a class starting Oct. 2 as well, and there's a couple CFI's from the states in it. Still not full, and looking for pilots. Oh, by the way, the pay is 20 per flight hour, not block. About 100 hours a month.

If you get a chance PenAir is the best place to fly
The Aleutions have some really neat stuff to see and do and you are home every night with a 4 on 3 off schedule
senior guys ( seven years plus) who are captains make around 100k
i will never leave this company

Default Wow.

That sounds awesome! Why aren't they in the database as a regional? A friend of mine told me they're hiring, but I don't know anything except what you guys have said.

I'm sure the guys here at APC would love some information from you 185flier.

They should create a separate section for Alaskan 135 ops., that would be pretty cool. Haven't completely ruled out the idea of going up there in the near future, it would be nice to have a solid source of good contact information for when you make the trip up there.

How long for Saab upgrade?

If you have Saab PIC time, do they ever hire with the intent to upgrade you faster?

Again, I don't work here so others know better than I, but...

I talked with a Pen Saab Capt. and he asked if I had 4000 hours. I said no, and he said, "Oh, well its takes 4,000 to upgrade to captain." I took it to mean that they would hire into the left seat if you looked right.

185flier, are you actually working a 4 on 3 off schedule?
