Hawaii Multi-time

[Hugh Jorgan]

They used to have a morning sked and an afternoon sked - take your pick of dawn patrol or sunset session!

Or Reserve....hit the waves at 0830 when the dawn patrollers all have to get to work...cell phone dry bag and uniform in the van.....surf everyday, fly once a month!

someone convince skydive hawaii to ditch their caravan and go for a twotter...on another note, pretty killer surf on the South side of Kauai today (just reenforcing my desire to never leave)

I did the reverse - went to AI to build multi and then back to mainland and worked for SKYW. Hawaii flying was a blast!!

Baja.

So you went to Andy Irons to build your multi. How'd that work?

First of all to everyone in this thread. Island Air is not IA (or AI for that matter). It's WP.

Second, merrick, if you're not 'pumped to fly at a regional', don't apply to WP. You'll just be pissed off when you get here. Try Alpine. Don't they have a 99 parked at LIH?

Third. Anyone that goes to PW to fly the van has done no research. Of course, anyone that goes to geaux jets or mesa has done no research or has no soul either. So what the heck. Give PW a try.

Finally. WP is not an easy commute. Unless you want to spend all of your whopping 1st year reserve FO pay on a place to live in LIH and a crashpad plus transportation in HNL, it's not a good idea.

Get your time on the mainland then try to come back. It's probably the quickest and easiest way.

IA was a fun four years. Yes I said IA (Island Air!) If I recall SKYW is OO in the computer and NO-ONE knows WTF you're talking about - ease up francis!!

thanks for your encouraging words of advice eye poker...Im just gonna pack up for the mainland and PFT until I hit AI mins...sound good everyone?

 

[Going2Baja]

Merick - skip the nonsence from the eye-poker. What does that really mean? HE pokes the eye hole? Sounds mahu to me. Keep the dream - make it happen and it will. AI would be a step up for you is you are currently CFIing. If you don't like it due to the commute, sked, co-workers - what ever....Bail. IA used to only hire their rampers that had worked years on the ramp throwing bags - so any of these guys tring to make it sound like they are the golden egg are full of wasabi.

Remember - they best job is the job that you are currently offered that is better than the one you currently have!!

Good luck and follow your dream!!

Baja.

 

[Almerick07]

no worries baja, im taking the negative vibe from eye poker pretty lightly. Im actually no longer doing the CFI thing...actually flying skydivers at the moment. Im really gonna dig my heels in and find a way to get some multi time off this rock. Island Air seems like the next logical stepping stone here on the island, just gotta get da twin time.

"follow your dream"? You're a ********************ing tool. I bet everyone loved you at Air Island (AI). Did you give motivational speeches at the time or is that something new?

Thing is that there's no need to fly there or anywhere else if you don't want to fly at a regional. What other options are there? Well, there's Alpine. Multi, single pilot ops. They have a plane in LIH. What else could the guy ask for? Otherwise, go to the mainland and fly for someone there.

If the guy doesn't want to fly for a regional but wants to stay in Hawaii and doesn't even meet WP's mins, please tell me where you'd recommend. AQ and HA won't hire for years and I doubt JALWays will be interested.

Follow your dreams! :beer:

Actually Cornhole poker I was quite the topic at AI. And if I do say so - I was loved by all. The old CP, who is now w/ the FAA, and I keep in touch. I'd even say CJ considered me a friend. As for you, now that's a very different topic I'm sure. All of your "da kine this and that' in your profile, my guess is that you're a young mainlander like I was trying to fit into a locals only neighborhood. Good luck w/ that.

And yes - follow your dream - no matter where that may lead you!

Too bad you're not still around. It would be a blast to fly with you. You know da kine.

just to clear it up, "im not pumped to fly for a regional" was a statement referring to mainland flying. i.e. layovers in tulsa, ok for $20 an hour...now give me a tent on the beach that I can sleep in every night for $20 an hour along with my surfboard and I'll call it a life.

C'mon. Tulsa's actually not a bad town. Now, if you had said Midland/Odessa, i would've agreed. But, either way, i agree with your tenting rather than living in Akron, OH idea.

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

C'mon. Tulsa's actually not a bad town.

There used to be a nice little AMP right outside the cargo ramp at TUL. Very handy indeed!

 

[Freight Dog]

Blah! I went to school in Tulsa and couldn't wait to get the hell outta there.

For a non-coastal city, there are sure plenty of whales around.

 

[airplane.tape]
