lol thanks, but that is the info i already have! lol i was actually hopeing to get into contact with one of the troopers, and hopefully get some inside info. ex: do they have all of the duties as a normal trooper is there any way for the troopers to pay for flight school what additional qualities/training may i have or need i have manny more ROD |
| No, they won't pay for your school. I'm a commercial rated pilot since 1999 and I decided they were not worth it. You should definately have Alaska time before you apply. I know it's not "required" per se but a good 500 hours would be worthwhile if you plan to apply. |

Then get your commercial, single/multi, float, CFI, CFII, move to AK, teach for a year or two to get AK time, and then apply. I certainly wouldn't expect you to just walk in & get a job; pilots in this state are a dime a dozen. Good luck! |
