Alpine Air Express

Anybody knows what their captain requirements are? They are going to Hawaii from what I heard.

They are in Hawaii!

2 beech turboprops are parked on the ramp at Kahului. 'Alpine Air' painted on them.

They're already offering my school's CFI's 'jobs' flying right seat...incredible.

Alpine........PFT

Hey JP

You forgot to mention its PFT...........

Enough said!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I guess I could have been more overtly disgusted...it didn't come through in my typing, sorry.

That's what I meant by 'jobs'. (note quotes).

What a bunch of losers. I read a report of their shareholders meeting, they are saying the PFT program is how they are planning their 'return to profitability'...that and bilking 'partners' out of money by 'leasing' out 99/1900s and then servicing them.

What a joke, I hope they go under.

theres always someone whos convinced its a good idea.

i met one of their "captains" many moons ago in LBB. he was touting the fact that he had bought 900 (yes i said 900) hours from them. at that time he had ~800 total and claimed to be typed...VFR only

needless to say, i cut the conversation short and left
