KBAL and Arctic
I am in the eastern arctic and work with and around the Ken Borek guys alot. Most of my mates have gone that route.
Right now the economy has everything slow with lots of lay offs and KBAL is no different. They also pay crap for the work they do, but because of the size of the company, and the amount of equipment they run you generally get a decent schedule from them as far as time off is concerned.
However if money isn't an issue KBAL is really the only company that operates all over the Arctic and high Arctic in particular (and Antarctica). I would love to work out of some of their northern bases at least long enough to see the scenery.
They do some amazing work with the Twin but are very inconsistant with their pilots, and a lot of their best drivers have moved on to greener pastures. I used to work near some of the operators in Ketchikan AL and they all paid very well (and USD) so I am not sure what you'd think of what we are getting here in the great white north.
