Hey Guys, Does anybody have any current info on this company?
Interview? QOL? Anything at all will be appreciated. Thanks

Do your research on here. You might have a change of heart.

Having flown in Hawaii for the "other" company, I got to see and know several current and former PW pilots. Most of them came to fly with my company. Take it from me, and read up on here. Pacific Wings is one place that you want to stay very far away from.

Well, I know the guys slamming Air Choice One on here can at least agree to saying stay away from Pacific Wings...

I don't know a thing about Air Choice One, is it as bad as PW?

They also have not flown in Hawaii in a year or two.

Nope, not at all. At least they have a set MX base with a good crew of mechanics.

Where is the pic of a PW van with painted on anti ice boots? It is priceless.

I was looking for that and found this:



Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

But honestly, did hear about the painted boots. That is a bit...strange.

I had to double-check the thread dates to make sure this one hadn't been dug up from the distant past... Sheesh, PW... I had no idea they were still even operating. I interviewed back in 2008 and they were a 2-bit operation back then with bad pay and even worse working conditions. They fired a bunch of people right afterwards, which meant for me a no-go on getting hired. Might be fine for a single guy trying to get his feet wet, but don't expect any pay raises, breaks, or a boss that will listen or care.
