> My hubby just got a job welding on north slope. Now, here’s some things they don’t tell you. First, the baggage fees on airlines 200 bucks and they don’t take cash. another 100 for fees on alaskian or ERA air going up to deadhorse with luggage. They paid for flight and hotel and you buy your own food. so, far the company and job is great. friendly people. two men to a room. **I work days. they do have a night shift. doing 6/2 wks off. let you know how the first 6 weeks go.** MB
