And there is some ambiguity there as well, even if your opspecs allow it. As in - are you only a "required crewmember" if they min rest you, and not if you get the 24/8.

Hi, I have a few questions (assuming a Mokulele Kona PIC position) I couldn't find the answer to on this thread or the Mokulele website:

How long until family members receive flight benefits on airlines other than Mokulele?

Does Mokulele pay 100% of the pilots medical? Anything towards a pilot's family medical?

Could a Kona PIC regularly fly 100 hours a month if they wanted to or would counting on 80/mo be more realistic?

What is a current schedule like (days on/off, flight hours per day)?

Is the flight to/from an interview/sim check paid for?

What is the cost of shipping a car from Honolulu to Kona?

Any relocation assistance for a PIC position?

Thank you for your help!

What are a couple of things new hires struggle with grasping with IFR or other items? My friend and I applied a couple of months ago.

Anyone know what is the pay scale for PC12 Captains?

I think it starts around year 2 of the caravan pay if you’re a captain. I think our SICs are getting around the same per hour as Caravan SICs but get a 6 hour guarantee per day they fly vs only getting paid for your scheduled “block time” (meaning if your line is 4.8 hrs that day that’s what you’re paid for in the caravan). The lines are shorter in the PC12 since it’s just HNL-LNY routes so far so that’s why they’re doing a daily guarantee vs being paid for whatever you fly.

6 months with the company

There is medical coverage through HMSA. It’s pretty good for individual not sure how it works for family coverage but I know that’s an option.


Not right now. Changes every few months depending on how we’re staffed. (There’s a lot of movement at this company). I typically bid 65 hours cause I’m not interested in building time and it keeps me on full time pay. If you are after the hours then you can bid more but most captains are probably averaging around 70-75. You can probably pick up extras and get closer to 80-85. 100 isn’t happening right now but maybe in the next couple months when those that are regional bound head out


Days on/days off depend on what you bid and your seniority. We have split shifts (AM/PM lines). Most lines will get you in the 4-5hr range but some of the longer regulars in Kona are as much as 5.8. You can bid as many as 6 days in a row if you want.


Don’t think so. But not positive


Don’t know. But from CA it’s like $900 so interisland can’t be more than $2-400 I wouldn’t think.

Not that I’m aware of but let me know if you get it cause I want a check if so. lol. Most expensive move ever from the other side of the country but sounds like you’re just coming from HNL so shouldn’t be bad for you

Bannerpilot24, thank you so much for that very useful information! I'm from Hawaii but don't currently live there. Maybe some day...Merry Christmas!

Wonder what happened to Swayne Martin. He hasn't posted a video on his Youtube channel for 2 months.

Pretty sure I saw him at the DL 747 farewell party in MSP. Lol

I have 2500 TT , with over 1000 PC-12 . Does Mokulele take part time captains by any chance ?

I cannot work full time unfortunately but available 3-4 days of the week.

I’d love to fly a caravan part time around the islands.
