I wasn't sure of the time lines with regard to your postings.Sounds like a lot has changed in 5 short yrs there at SAE/ Mokulele.
You are absolutely allowed to change your opinion.
Thank you for clarifying.

Are the PC-12 pilots still not flying? I remember reading a while ago that they were only flying like 20 hours a month. Is this still the case? Also curious about the Mokulele operation. Anyone over there currently that's willing to answer a few questions?

I'm curious, too. The other day I was looking at Mokulele on flightradar24 because I was curious about their Saab fleet. Looks like it hasn't been flying. (Or it could be a user error on my part.)

"The FAA alleges that between Oct. 1, 2022, and Oct. 12, 2022, the company operated three Cessna Caravan airplanes on 32 commercial flights with a co-pilot who had not passed recent written or oral tests or a competency check."

Damn. I wonder how this is going to shake out.

That is funny. 🤣

if that AC had autopilot, would it matter? I read somewhere that they had an SIC due to nit having autopilot on their Caravans.

Anyone know what is going on internally at this airline? Looks like the named a new president to take over the operations side. Seems like there is a pretty significant shakeup happining within leadership.

Founder/CEO Stan Little, Head of Airline Ops Ian Vanderbeek, DOM Bill Gipson, DO John Horton, CP Alberto Yepez - all gone very recently. Stock price hit all-time low of $.22. My guess is that all the big shareholders realized the need to clean house. The real question is whether operations and maintenance improve with the personnel changes.

I would think, the primary concern of shareholders and new management is to treat their employees with RESPECT!
