Only in select places. Sam's always had it for $3-4.

And if you think $8 is bad, you should check out the price of a gallon in Barrow, AK...

Anyone have info on if the Qs are replacing the ATRs?
How's scheduling?
What program do you use for seeing trips/open time?
Is it 5 leg days?

Spoke with WP at FAPA yesterday-
2 Qs flying. 3rd in April. A 4th in May or possibly in March (before the 3rd?). Goal is to replace remaining ATRs by the end of the year if not sooner.
I was told the company is targeting to expand the pilot group to 90 (currently around 50) by the end of this year. Hiring into Q only.
Frequencies will nearly double by this May- just announced yesterday.
Day trips- Am/PM starts. Home every night. 6 leg days. Maybe more with increased frequency...
Open time paid at 150%
$5k relocation package plus coach ticket to HNL for employee and spouse/dependents. $12k bonus paid over 18 months.

So no.

You been to Hawai'i before? The other airports aren't particularly large.

Plus side, you'd be home every night.

Was born in Wailuku. Island life is slow. I don't think I'd want to live there again, not my cup of tea. Nice place to vacation.

The racism also sucked, though that was in Kona. Might be better in Honolulu, I don't know, didn't spend much time there.

Are people getting hired at HAL from island air without prior jet time? Would love to come fly at Island Air with the goal being HAL down the line. I have heard that HAL prefers jet time on the mainland w/ weather experience, so some choose to fly at a regional on the mainland before trying to get on with Hawaiian. Any thoughts?

I have flown with a couple FOs at my mainland regional who came from island air to get that mainland jet time. So it seems HAL still wants that. As the 2-3 people i've flown with both had more Total time than me and they were sitting right seat building jet time.

I think they prefer candidates to have some 121 mainland time, whether it's jet or turboprop may not matter as much.

Island Air time is good enough. People not from Hawaii are starting to leave to brown and the big 3. In order not to get burned, local guys/gals probably get looked at closer now that everyone hiring.
