Okay Guys, Thanks for the instant cup of realism....lol...Im still encouraged to go out there and get the job. I appreciate all your help and info. My sister lives out there so I will be staying with her. I really want this job and believe its best for me. I got the interview after sending a self addressed stamped envelope to the company for them t send back their application. After filling it out and sending it back, I received a phone innterview from their Director of Operations Joe Edwards. About 2 weeks later, I got the call from HR to set up an interview. I encourage you to apply with time lower than their minimums as they will still consider you. Thanks for all your help and I hope to see all of you on line. Sounds like fun.

Stimulating Flying?

Do you guys think that Island Air's routes would get boring after a while? They only fly to a handful of locations and most flights are only short hops. Don't get me wrong, I would love to work for this company. I was just curious what any body else thinks, especially someone who flies for them or Aloha.

In a word YES

I've been in the pool for the last 6 months, and I have faithfully dropped by HR to update my Resume. I was just wondering, who chooses the pilots who will be in the next class? Should I sent my Resume directly to the Chief Pilot? ANy word of another class? I've got buddies who are getting interviewed next week.
Good luck to everybody!

There is never a boring landing in Kapalua or night approach into Molokai.

Just study hard..those previous gouges @ aviationinterview.com was pretty accurate.

Island Air stability

So, I'm gonna be flying in Hawaii, and so now I have my sights set on Island Air, or maybe Hawaiian or Aloha. What's it look like for Island Air going forward, baring any unforseen terrorist attacks, or economic slumps, does it look like they'll be around for a while?

They pick from the pool what they feel they need at the time. i.e. March class didn't have anyone in it that didn't have turbine time already, several had 121 experience or military, all had at least 135 turbine experience. They know they are going to be desperate for captains here shortly if all their plans come to fruition. Right now they have CA minimums of 3000tt and 1000multi or 2500tt and 500 DHC-8 time, doesn't sound like much but a line holder at island air probably flys 50-60 hours a month so you are looking at being an FO for probably 2 years based on your tt of 1700 you stated in your profile. This may change as we add longer routes (i.e. HNL-ITO, ITO-LIH) but the bulk of your flying is still going to be :20 minutes at a time going from HNL-MKK or LNY and back. The union is pushing hard for the minimums to be lowered but they actually just raised them and they thus far have been able to fill the CA seats, I doubt they'll go back down anytime soon.

good luck
