That should answer your question.,,,

Nice work.

Let me ask this question then. Since Mesa is hiring, according to your superior judgement, sub-standard pilots will you be electing to never sit in the jump-seat on Mesa again?

Just asking, I mean because if you're insinuating they're unsafe or something!?!?

You don't see me posting on Skywest threads. But then again I don't walk through the terminal on a 100 degree day wearing my aviators, hat and blazer. Not my cup of tea...

Now if I remember correctly Skillet you are TDY so you get per diem and a hotel so forgive me if I can’t let it pass that you are some kind of authority on living in Hawaii. I did it without per diem and with out a hotel and guess what it can be done! You are correct we do only have 11 days a month off, and there are days you have to work from 6:15am-8:30pm but the are not the rule. Most days are from 6-2 or 2-8. Yes there are a lot fatigue calls because of those 6am-8pm days, those days suck period. If you need to call in do it, you shouldn’t have to but yes they build some crappy lines with those days built in. I’ll give that one to you. Your next point is rent, again your TDY please don’t talk about things you have no experience with. Rent, if you want to live within a few blocks of Waikiki is going to be high. I’ve seen 1 bedroom without kitchens for over $3000 a month near the beach! If you move inland just 10-15 blocks rent drops off to $750-$850 even below is not unheard of. I’ve lived in Arizona myself and I paid $750 for an apartment and it was more then a few blocks from the ocean. Next time you talk about rent look at places in Salt Lake, Ewa Beach, and Waianae THEN tell the world all you know about renting in Hawaii.

So ive got Skwest Bro F/O...a couple tran states guys ...a guy named CBreezy who doesn't even have 1500 hours yet. Just getting an idea of credibility in these forums.

Slats I'd be careful throwing out that DUI stuff. Even on a forum board I think it's a bad idea....to even attempt to stereotype a pilot group like that or even provide a stigma is flat out liable/slander I'd like the mods to please lock or remove Slats from this forum. Incredibly offensive!!! Skywest guys please reel in SLATS I know he doesn't represent you at all.

Just lock it out.
