The chief pilot recently threw two pilots under the bus to the FSDO for duty time violations. Not something a chief pilot should do, especially when he's the reason it happened. You either work what they tell you or you will be fired.
Left there 2 months back. Just this week one of the SIC's jump seated back to the mainland and quit when he got there. The DO, who I'm sure you've all heard stories of, called him threatening court action and when the pilot talked back to him telling him why he did it and what the company issues were the DO's response was telling the pilot that he should start his own airline called morals air, due to him quitting under contract. The DO is an idiot. Couldn't pay me enough to go back there.
I guess I get to be the Richard of APC, but why oh why do people still go to PW? At least "certain other operators" seem to have a few defenders, but not PW.
Maybe that little eek guy needs to be their logo/mascot guy; "Pacific Wings-AHHHHHH!!

"
With this "pilot shortage" going on, is PW even having a hard time getting new recruits?
