You know, you're right. Its going to be so layed back. Even with the hectic work schedule that always goes with a flying job, its going to be great to have a bit of an adventure.

Congrats man! Sounds like a hell of a deal!

Hey Congrats,
Let me know how you like mokulele. I thought about going out to work for them, can't remember why I didn't. Any Idea what they pay their captains? I think they are still looking for some. When do you start? I can't wait to here some reports from you. Congrats again

sixoneseven · March 4th, 2008, 00:10

I see their pilot application wants 200 hours TT for First Officer applications. Just curious what you had for time and what the company is doing for you as far as pay and compensation for relocation?

other than working for Hawaiian or Aloha, ive heard just the opposite about almost every other company in Hawaii.

Anyway, congrats on the new job ppragman! Let us know how it goes for you.

I've heard bad stuff about Pacific Wings, and Island Air, but good stuff about mokulele, as for times, I'm getting on with 1030TT or so, but I think its on a case by case basis.

PositiveRate737 · March 7th, 2008, 16:51

I almost went there myself looks like a pretty good operation, They will take you with a wet commercial (ASEL) no MEL needed, pay for FOs is 9 dollars an hour and captains get 36,000 first couple months then up to 39,000...not a bad gig if you want to fly in paradise.

aloft · March 7th, 2008, 18:35

Careful tho, $9/hr isn't really a livable wage in Hawaii.
