Re: Be02/DC3T pay

Same as above , might as well put it out for all positions I don't work there anymore but it depends on what you bring to the table and can negotiate, the number of days you work, and whether you go to Antarctica or not. I'd guess somewhere between 90k and 150k. 1900 on the lower side and DC3 on th...

Lots of inaccurate information posted here. The Chief Pilot did not leave for greener pastures and its not a 24/7 on call deal. There will be two pilots assigned to the plane. 604 flights will be flown either single pilot or two crew depending on schedule and all 704 flights will be two crew only. ...

Re: Question about Antarctic Pilot Experience

If you have significant time on twin otters or dc3 on skis and have a Canadian licence, it may be possible to do a contract with Borek or Enterprise. I believe BAS requires an EASA licence.

Could also join the New York Air National Guard to get on the “skier” hercs out of McMurdo.
