Courtesy air doesn't operate float planes commercially. The float side was sold off and is now owned by voyage air.

Voyage Air bought Courtesy Air's float division in the spring of 2002. They have since put a turbine in the Otter. Excellent equipment, fair pay; pilot's are expected to perform some non-flying duties but this is typical in a smaller operation. You will have a hard time finding a nicer guy to work for; just be prepared to put in an honest day's work for your day's pay. Voyage Air earns my vote!

Let's not forget about Pacific Coastal's Float Division. I think they have 3 amphib Beavers & 3 or 4 Gooses (Geese??)

Unless it floats, it ain't worth flying.
