It's very remote, but it'd be some fun flying, stable and could be a great way to bank some money for someone that would have normally considered the regionals. The hiring window expires on or after the 29th so good luck to those that apply.

My mistake for not catching that. Here's hoping there are some veterans apply as it looks like a fun gig

Hah...does look pretty fun. Also sounds like the kind of job that puts some hair on one's chest, so to speak.

 

[srn121]

Yep. I can only imagine the birds and flocks you have to dodge that low, but trying to shepherd flocks of wild animals could be a lot of fun and in a tail dragger in SD working for the Feds you could probably plop down all sorts of places. I guess it's both good and bad it's such a flat state when you're flying around that low

I can't remember why I think this, but I believe the aircraft is an Aviat Husky for this job.

It probably is, the feds bought a crap ton of them a few years ago.
