You are trying to make an argument on a hobo living in Hawaii and the Hawaiian ops have been closed for nearly a year?
Clarence.....did you use to work at Pacific Wings? What experience did you bring to the table to be able to make such a dramatic statement - "You most likely won't leave the airline without getting fired, violated, or dead. Get the picture?"

Terrible
I had a terrible experience with them. I made it out with my certificate intact, but I worried about it on a daily basis. From what I hear there is a new management team, but I cannot imagine it is any better. Having to sign a training contract for right seat in a caravan is a joke and the owner is a litigious snake. They have been chased out of nearly every market they have ever served while chasing EAS contracts. From someone that didn't believe the message boards when I was offered the job, believe them! Don't do it. Don't waste your time. Yes, your life might actually depend on it. I was certainly placed in dangerous situations by management that could easily have lead to my demise.

Getting violated? Sure, if you're breaking regs, but that's on you as a pilot. Ending up dead? That's one I haven't heard and last I checked they have never had an accident. Please explain that one.
FWIW, the old CP/DO, DJ now works at the ABQ FSDO.

At least some of these other posters have actually worked there and can speak from first hand experience about the challenges of working at this employer. It seems that you parrot the information you read to come off as knowledgable.
