In AFW its 5am show. Fly to MAF and back. Done by 9am. It seems like those guys also cover for other bases so there could be travel involved not sure.
Both runs go Monday night through Friday morning

Would anyone that has been hired by empire recently be willing to pm me some interview information? Also, I'm looking to make the move for ohana to HNL from the mainland, if anyone would be willing to answer some questions about moving from the mainland I'd appreciate it! Done lots of research online and trying to see what is true and what is exaggerated.

A synopsis. Once a great company in rapid decline. Used to be a place pilots stayed for years working for low pay in exchange for QOL. A couple years ago company atmosphere completely changed. From the top down the attitude is we'll just replace pilots when they complain. If you come to them with a complaint, often the reply is leave if you don't like it. That sometimes is followed with CASS problems. Longtime employees are leaving due to the change in atmosphere. HR is described as used car salesman, with new hires often complaining of this isn't what HR described. Retention bonus can be pulled by company, RX days are sometimes scheduled sometimes not. Its at the discretion of the company. HR is very happy to show you the door. Caravan pilots have reported problems with TKS inside cockpit.
Days are long. (Day run) out the door at 5am, sit at the airport waiting for late planes, stand at plane for loading sometimes hours due to slow loading. Fly 1 hour, sit all day, fly back in the evening and home by 8pm Monday-Saturday. Some runs have you in a hotel nightly and home for a long lunch due to late departures.
121 often has no reserve pilot so don't get sick or have personal emergencies. 121 side has had pay raises due to lack of crews as a result of a bad reputation.
135 side has high training failure rate. Majority of bases are new hires, as the senior employees left.
Company has created a very bad reputation
Pro's Aircraft well maintained due to customer paying for it
