Notes
KSEA ⇄ PAFA is a solid Alaska route for Sky Blue Radio Airlines because it avoids Anchorage but still gives pilots a real northern destination. Expect changing weather, colder operations, longer daylight swings by season, and strong scenery value. This is a great route for First Officer and above, with Junior First Officers allowed if you want this to be a “featured Alaska adventure” route rather than a rank-restricted haul.
