I didn't hit Hawiian was seperate at all. It's what we want. Why there is not a way to get in the door at Hawiian on the flights which are much shorter than what the mainland regionals offer especially when the FO first year pay is one of the lowest? What do you want...to fly few long trips, to fly many short trips? How do we all get what we want? Do we want to be the same pilot flying shorter legs than the mainland regionals or do we want the long hauls? Shucks, we chose not to have that option? A pilot is a pilot that is all that matters? Hawiian has shorter legs than the mainland regionals and doesn't have an ATP/CTP offer for the pilots who actually live here? I've lived here for 7 years with 1 summer break (2 months) total out of the 7 years here. 121 world? why not give it a shot?
Once again, I am not here trolling. I am not here trying to offend anyone. I am provoking thought for the benifit of all of us possibly. This is my aim.
