Former WP'er here. I'm curious about the new contract. Can you share some of the highlights of it: pay rates, min day, work rules, etc... Thanks.

If it doesn't either pay enough to afford to live on island or provide enough time off to live on the mainland and commute, then I just don't see what it matters. Hawai'i is a terribly expensive place, on par with New York, but much less commutable. (though a much nicer place)... I've considered Hawaiian, but the FO pay isn't island livable on its own... I can't imagine Island Air can do any better even for a captain pay.

Haven't heard much from this place, replacing the ATR fleet with Q400s? Any growth? Street captains?

Yes, yes, and yes but not for much longer.

First Q started proving runs last week.

Sitting on 1300TT trying to decide which regionals to apply with, interested in Skywest (Lax) commute to HNL or Island air so I wouldn't commute. Just wanted to give the island living thing a try. Any thoughts?
