Applied! and I meet all the requirements for GS11 and most for GS12 (~140 hours PIC short). The listing looks different, it mentions ASEL or ASES for most of the questions. The seaplane time kept me off the cert the last few times this was posted.

Although, if this doesn't work out, I have a seat in a CRJ with Skywest starting in March.

Application window extended and now closes at midnight on Monday, 09 Dec 2019.

Have they started interviewing for the GS-11 and 12 positions yet? How many positions are they hiring for? Thanks Henny

Just interviewed for a GS13 job with the USFWS but I'd much rather do this.

Sorry for the delay. Prohibited from discussing the hiring process until the evolution is complete. We offered the job to two applicants and both have accepted, so we should be fully manned with 3 pilots and 3 Beavers by mid-summer.

And one more time. Application closing date is 09 November.

Henny,
are y'all hiring a fourth or did someone bail? I'll poke some guys in AK.

Sure miss them beavers of yours.

Our second hire from earlier this year didn't pass his background check, so we are only at two pilots right now. Thanks for spreading the word.

I’m actually surprised they only want 500hrs on floats, that’s pretty reasonable for government work.

Sign of the times. The minimum use to be 1000 hours on floats not too long ago, and half of that had to be in a "heavier" airplane (i.e. something more than a J-3...). Can't remember what the weight limit actually was...

Like clockwork, another spring, another USAJobs posting for a Beaver position...

All the same age, experience and flight time requirements from the previous posts.

Video and article links also in previous posts for anyone interested in more information.

Let me know if you have questions.
