I've flown with both great & awful Bush pilots since 1970, & have been in 3 single engine crashes (floats, wheels & skis) with them. After the 3rd I quit for a while, figuring I shouldn't push my luck.
The economic pressures on - or greed of- flight service owners that was transferred to their pilots  was substantial "in the day"- maybe it's better now – but when I read about recent tourist–transporting crashes in Skutheast I have my doubts.
I've flown with drunk pilots; I've flown with exhausted pilots;  i'm flown with pilots new to the terrain they were flying in, or new to Alaska. I've flown with pilots whose equipment was "on the brink";  with pilots who mis-matched skis or floats to the planes they were flying; or who overloaded their planes for a bit of extra revenue.
If you're a frequent Bush flyer, learn  from others about your particular pilot; about the specific plane he is flying; and about the weather & terrain you'll be in.  And be willing to wait a day or so for weather!
