I guess I've been out of the loop...what is Republic doing with E-170s in Hawaii? What a great plane! That would have been a fun flight. You guys flying that thing over there are going to have a blast!

So no incentives at all? HNL is the most expensive place to live out of all your bases. How are the FO's affording this. I live with my in-laws and i still cant afford to get by on what i make as an FO... Tell me how you guys are doing it?

Probably never been to HI before... it's nice but it's going to get old real fast with no cash.

I'm sure every airline has their share of pilots from Hawaii who long to return home... myself included, although I work for another airline. Just yesterday I met another FO from the islands working at my company. We both try to make a trip home whenever we have enough days off.

Did the company offer everyone the oppertunity to do those ferry flights? Or was it some sort of reward? I know we just "rewarded" some pilots by letting them pick up the new -900s and deliver them back to SLC...
