1. Is this a good outfit to fly for? Are employees happy there?
A: Yes / Unionized

2. Is the PC-12 a good airplane to fly? I have seen it on the ramp - it looks nice.
A: Bearskin no longer has PC12s; their fleet consists of Beech 100s,/99s/ and Sweringen Metroliners.

3. Does Bearskin actually fly Fokker 100s (I have seen this in some timetables and not in others - conflicting data)?
A: No, No Jet equipment.

4. What are the pros and cons of flying for Bearskin?
A: Don't know.

Many of their pilots are local quys and been with the company a long time , others are their to build time.

They are based in Thunder Bay, a remote city of APPX 100,000. It is an 8 hour drive to get to any other equally sized city, thats probably a draw back.
