Perhaps it might help if you provided more information as to who you are, why you want to know, and what, specifically is it you want to know about the company.

Are they out of Ft.Nelson? Started about late-70's or early 80's I think?

Sure.

They operate out of JFK. They have 34 A330 and 56 A319's, and 1 Cessna 402 entry level position.

The owner Mike Hawk is a good fellow. The pilot's wage no matter what they fly is starting at 140K US. The operate mainly cargo hauling fish across the country. His silent partner is Hugo Bahls. Nice man too although I have not met him before.

We're always looking for new pilot's and engineers.

This smells trollish

Thanks birddog. But I think we are thinking of different companys. The one I'm thinking of has a 206, Baron, Islander and Navajo.. Anyone ever work for this company or know someone who has?

I worked out of XJ or XD at that time, and one of our guys (now a long time AC'er) came from there. Never heard anything bad; if that helps (word does get around).

Do they offer housing? I've always heard that NYC is fairly expensive?

I've heard that the per diems are fairly generous too, if you like fish!

TC,

I know a high-time guy who worked for them(Mr. Villers) years ago...he loved it!! As far as I know it's a small family company doing lot's of diverse work out of Fort Nelson...crew changes, etc!! (I've been to worse towns up-north than YYE)

I think he also brings-in lower timers and works them up through the system...something to do with higher-timers working for him for a few months and then taking-off south when they get a better offer!!

Thanks. That sounds very reasonable.
