Hi there guys. I happen to work out here in Hawaii side by side the Pacific Wings guys and here's the scoop. They loose Captains well before their 90 day probabtionary period is up reasons.... Well the aircraft are poorly maintained, the schedule sucks and the upper management is a big head scratcher.
Oh and the pay for VFR Capt is 29k and IFR capt I think is around 31k which in Hawaii where milk is 6.00 a gallon is peanuts.
They actually just fired a friend of mine because he refused to fly an aircraft that was near max gross weight into a field that is 1700ft with no working flaps. They take away the captains right to make the go/no go decision. But, hey they hire VFR Captains with 500tt so what do you expect. If you want to know more just ask me.
