Star Marianas Air, Inc.

I recently saw a job posting about pilot positions and was wondering if anyone had heard of or worked for them.

There's already a thread on this company, found here:

Most of their flying is "VFR" in Cherokees and Skyhawks. They do have a twin, but good luck getting into it. Seems like a decent time building gig if you have nothing holding you down.

Okay thanks!

Hey guys!

Few days ago I had an interview and it seems that I've been hired (verbally, no papers been signed yet) and flying there pretty soon.
I have few questions on Star Marianas Air for those of you who worked there.

Could you please advise me on what should I take with me? I never lived on small islands and have no idea if there anything in high demand/something hard to get there due to short supply or high prices - clothing/cell phone or something else....
Might be you could advise me on anything else regarding going there? Any tips/thoughts are highly appreciated!

The Island is still currently without power after the typhoon hit 3 weeks ago. Not a bad place to get a start and have fun. I enjoyed living there for a year. That being said, I wouldn't go back and work there again.

Women and bars are nice, but Star won't pay you enough to enjoy it. Saipan is a fairly screwed up place logistically and politically. Just go with the flow and have an exit strategy.

Saipan and Tinian are very very small, remote and the isolation can be somewhat overwhelming. An exit strategy is a very good idea.

I have a skype interview with these guys tomorrow night.
