While Alaska has a great deal of aircraft, and a little more flexiblity in hiring, preference will always be given to Alaskan pilots then US pilots, and a very distant third, foreigners possessing a skill not found in US pilots. Usually that skill is cash to invest in the lodge they will be working in.

Something to bear in mind is that the Alaskan bush (well, the Rocks and Tundra) tends to eat a lot of airplanes each year. It requires above average map and terrain-reading skills , as well as a degree of handiness not normally found in the average flying club member.

The scenery is nice, but try not to become part of it.
