Not if you sign a 2 yr contract. That's the last I heard.

I talked to the Chief pilot at Mokulele and it's about $47000 plus so not a bad gig. Captains at Island Air will be paid more. Just wondering about the upgrade times and QOL there.

Lots of lifers at WP, or should I say people who will only leave if Hawaiian hires them.

Mokulele turns a lot of FO's into Captains from what I hear, and not everyone bails once they hit 1500. If they could only level out the flying between the bases - some HNL crews may fly all day, while the Kona crews start at like 7AM, done at 2PM, new crew flies until 9PM, etc.

The HNL crews either work AM's or PMs... most days are 6-8 legs and less than 8 hours.. she had it pretty good.. with 14+ days off usually.
