How is the training at Island Air? Where is it provided and who are they contracted with? Is their street captain training pretty good?

A decent number of island air guys/gals went to HA last year. A few FOs but mostly captains. I'd say there was at least one or two Island air pilots in each HA class last year. Others who left went to Omni, Allegiant, and Aloha Cargo. The top 10 captains are probably never leaving.

Sim Training is done at Flightsafety with Island air instructors, and all ground stuff is here at HNL with no one being hired into the ATR. Everyone is going to the Q.

How is the interview at Island Air? Is there a current gouge? What is current upgrade time like?

Anyone here in the March 2 class? PM me.

A friend of mine is in it as a new hire . There should be a few ATR guys in it too. Well at least when you guys start systems they will be.

Just applied with no internal recs. Is there anything they're specifically looking for? I'm looking to move out to the islands for my wife's job. Hoping to get a call back!

ATP mins, a pulse, and a good attitude.

Just curious, what kind of flight bennies does IA offer to their pilots?

How's the schedule. Is it like a 4 on 3 off schedule? Or do you only get 1 or 2 days off between pairings?
