“Although work is work, and nowhere is perfect, I can say in all honesty that after 35 years in the industry, this is the best company I have worked for.”
– Doug, Beechcraft 1900 Captain

“I love how Pacific Coastal is a well-established, professional airline that still maintains a close-knit vibe where I feel like a name and not a number. I enjoy the mix of flying into busy international airports like Vancouver and flying VFR into smaller uncontrolled airports in B.C.”
– Brett, Beechcraft 1900 Captain

Captains always have opportunities to become training Captains at Pacific Coastal, be it a Line Training Captain, Ground School Training Captain, or SIM training Captain. All our training is done in house, and is considered some of the best training in the industry.

No, at Pasco, we take a different approach. Once a pilot completes line indoctrination, they are scheduled for both line flying and reserve duties as part of our socialized preference system. This means new pilots don’t have to wait for seniority to bid for line flying, allowing for quicker flight time accumulation and more predictable scheduling.
