This info is about 6 years old but here goes anyway. I flew 135 with a guy who used to be a dispatcher for TWA express when they had ATR's in HI. He lived there in the early/mid 90's when there were no flying jobs and tried to get the job your asking about. He discovered that those 208 jobs are had by guys who don't want to do anything else by fly, sleep and surf. Therefore in order to get the job someone has to get eaten by a shark or something since nobody leaves. O well I sayt go for it anyway, let us know. Kind of wouldn't mind that life, although I've been told the island people hate us white bread guys.
Yes it is Corporate Air. The 208's belong to FedEx and Corporate provides the pilots. They also use 3 Shorts 3-30's. Corporate also have several mail contracts in the islands and flys B1900 and Shorts 3-60's for that. Used to be that a lot of the mail pilots were TDY from the mainland. They'd fly a month or so and then rotate back.
Airspur, I was visiting the Big Island last month and saw two of your planes at Hilo airport (assuming you work for Corporate). I wanted to talk to the pilots but didn't get the chance. I'm interested in any and all info about C.A.
