Alas,
First Air's Otters, like the DC-3's are now a part of history. The 748's- long a cash machine for the company, are fading away, to be slowly replaced by ATR's.
Contracts do not appear to be in the offing for the 727's.
The 37's are holding their own for now on skeds, and the Herc having no comparable competition soldiers on.
Resumes from laid off SO's and FO's abound. Even the mighty Otter captains, some with 20000 on type are adrift. The DFO, Chuck M, who had been with the company since his ramp rat days in 1980, has departed the fix.
Show'em you're an optimist... send them a resume. But do not expect an immediate reply. Like the Titanic in the hours after the iceberg, First Air is still afloat. It just seems like nobody's at the helm, and no-one is talking to the engine room.
