Georgia Skies is pacific wings (the hawaiian based company). They fly Caravans. They have plans on expanding. There hiring CA's and FO's. CA's start at 2500/mo and FO's start at 1200/mo. Its not a bad place to work right now.

If you are a FO then it will suck if you are a captain then it will suck a little less but still suck. I use to work for them in Hawaii. But if thats your only option for work then I'd probably do it.

Its a single pilot airplane, that explains the FO pay. They only have FO's because EAS requires a co-pilot. So if you have 135 mins you can be Captain. The flying outside of Hawaii seems to be much better, for example in NM we dont work longer than a 7 hour duty day and are home every night. Supposedly that is going to change next month. As a furloughed pilot it is a good place to be...trust me. You could put it this way too...I make more flying 9 people than Great Lakes CA's make, and my medicare is paid for by the company.
