Sounds like fun ... if Alpine could pay enough to cover the cost of living in Hawaii.

Which from what I have heard they do not. The pay is the same for the Hawaii runs as the Montana etc. runs. I think the cost of living is slightly higher in the warm tropical place! It is extra tough to pay for hawaii after you have paid your own training expenses too!!!! -kingaira90

Yeah, you get to pay them $23k to sit in the right seat of a 1900. The sad part is some moron is going to do it thinking he is getting that much closer to his dream jet job. Pathetic!

They sell the right seat, but I don't think they are PFT by the strict definition.

I thought PFT was dead. Nobody fly for these clowns please.
