Alkan had a pretty big expansion in the last few years and I’m sure you’ll have no problem flying their medevac 350, great plane, decent place to work. You’ll never be rich but you’ll sleep in your own bed, enjoy a great lifestyle and make a decent living. If you enjoy living up north, and dont mind the joys of your typical 703 stuff, I think Alkan could be a good fit. Schedule and pay improved quite a bit over the last few years but you’d have to ask around about the medevac shit and upcoming flight duty rules, as I’m not sure how they run their day/night on call operation nowadays.

I used to work in Whitehorse. I LOVED that city. Such a unique part of Canada. Don't know much about employment scene there now but I just wanted to say, I've often thought about going back.

Air North? Do the research. Shouldn’t have a problem finding a job up there with your time & experience.

I have researched through the internet. I couldnt find any salary or schedule for any position except top seniority air north captain on the jet, which wont be my case

I would love to live in Whitehorse. Nice part of the country up there.

Alkan runs a decent operation from what I knew years back. I've seen their ads on here lately for Nanaimo base too...

Here's a Dornier 228 Captain ad from 2 weeks ago:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=130092&p=1066202#p1066202

wages based on experience starting at 83-87K? I'd think you can do a bit better... if you're coming off airline ops and have some background to support Northern ops... the 9/6 rotation isn't ideal perhaps either but maybe you aren't working all of the 9 which would make it reasonable.

It wouldn't surprise me if Air North offered fast upgrades for experienced people who wanted to join and stay. Maybe on the ATR if not the '37... I think their '37 rates went up significantly last year.

Good luck.

Hey guys,

I am looking for information on the current employment situation in Whitehorse Yukon. I am currently a 705 Captain with 5000 hours, I don’t necessarily need a big plane. I would consider smaller operations with good conditions as I would make the move for the lifestyle and not for the jet fever.

Thanks!

Still nothing about Air North and Tintina, the Alkan team seems great!

[TailwheelPilot]

A while back Tintina had a Caravan/Navajo job ad up for a seasonal, possibly permanent, position. Monthly pay was mid-$6000s I think. The Beaver ad for a seasonal floatplane position in Atlin was $9000-$12000 per month.
