Empire Airlines was by far the worst company I ever worked for. I am now convinced the CaptCarl is the HR lady who works there trying to get more pilots to apply there. People are leaving that place in such large numbers for a reason. They even lost a few routes because they cant staff.
People that have got the above jobs after Empire has been because of their previous experience. Besides it doesn't take much to get hired at a regional. That is hardly an accomplishment that you are bragging about. The card & turkey are pathetic. I would much rather get decent pay. And what makes you think we don't get time to pursue our hobbies. Best part is that those of us who left now have enough money to pursue the hobbies.

C'mon man, you know I'm not the HR lady. I'm just giving you my honest opinion based on my experience. We did lose a couple of routes, but we have gotten them back since. Previous experience or not, people have moved up and out from here. "Card and turkey are pathetic" is your opinion. It's more than I've gotten at previous airlines. DUDE, you are proof that people can move on to better paying jobs from Empire
One more thing to consider is their extremely high failure rate due to the sub standard training they provide there. Once you get that failure on your record, you are stuck there for life. After sim training their check airmen will teach you how to dip below glideslope in critical approaches so you can "Get it done".
'cause it does. And that last little quip about check airmen teaching pilots to dip below the glideslope to "get it done" is bullsh*t. Every LCA I've flown with here has been very much by the book.Bro, at the end of the day, you'll have your opinion and I'll probably disagree with you. But our experiences are obviously night and day. No hard feelings. Cheers.

10,000$ bonus now but will this compete with Island Air in HNL?
Can you jumpseat or get passes, and in first/bizzo class, on Hawaiian flying for Ohana? How are the medical bennies at Ohana? 100% at Island Air. I think Ohana has two freighters as well?

What's the weekly schedule look like if you move to your base? Can you drop your kids off at daycare then fly each day? You never need a hotel because your home every night? What are you doing if you fly 200-300 hours each year?
