Update time:
I been talking with the chief pilot at Big Island Air, seems like a decent guy. They pay $43 per flight hr, which I s'pose isn't too bad to drive a caravan. The problem is that they're a VERY small company, only ONE aircraft
and I just can't see how I would get enough hours to pay the bills. They are currently looking for a part timer if anyone is interested. If you're a semi-retired guy who is already in Hawaii, this might be a fun gig.
I still havn't heard anything from the other Hawaiian companies. At least Big Isle was nice enough to talk with me LoL

Yes it's true, Mesa does suck, but it still kinda hurts. Who is running GO nowadays?
