We are pilots, but it's good to have basic English skills. The systems test was very tough; I studied my butt off and was tied for best score in class with a 96/100. This is no cake walk as for bases and upgrades... expect the worst and if you get better well good on you. There is no guarantees here so plan spending a couple years up north and pray that the EAS routes don't get hosed. There is plans to reduce the funding and if they do there is a darn good chance we will all be on the street.

Well one good thing if I understand Cruz on the "reducing funding" I am assuming it is the government funding that our government cannot agree on anything. Also back in the day the MT runs did have pax on them and a lot of them had to take the flight to go get medical stuff done to them.

It has nothing to do with legitimate arguments either way. EAS is an easy target and a great headline-grabber for a pol looking to get re-elected in the near future. Think about it... airplanes may good headlines anyway then add a video of of 1-2 pax getting on a plane at 0600 with a voice-over about hundreds of millions in tax-funded fraud, waste, and abuse. The politician in question comes home a budget-slashing hero.
Except the Alaska stuff will survive. Actually, that might save EAS in the lower 50 when the congressional reps cry "but what about my district". everything on the hill is horse trading...just because EAS is a necessity in AK does not mean other reps will just give away their slice.

You pay for all your uniforms and are required to be in it on day 1. I think you may get back $150 after training, but I'm not certain on that one. Yes upgrades are happening quickly and the company is expanding, but I'm guessing a quarter of our business is EAS up North.
