dude(mcpilot),
Pinnacle... with 4000 total, you probably upgrade in 3 months, I was in the hotel van the other day from Harrisburg and an FO I sitting next to had an upgrade class. He was only online for three months.

good luck

Clearly reading comprehension is as much a challenge for Slatsnfive as is constucting a complete, proper sentence. Heck, when I returned to the Islands at age 18, I moved straight into a place in Nanakuli and lived there for four years. I couldn't have been treated better by my neighbors. The same holds true for my many years spent on Ewa Beach road. Some of my best friends for life still live on that road. I can't figure out how dumbass here thinks that somehow advocating a relocation to the islands and repeated statements that you'll find a few dickheads like him in every corner of the world equates to evidence of mistreatment in early days of residence. I suppose I'm reminded yet again of one of the downsides of the islands being a lack of satisfactory public education. If Slats could locate a dictionary, much less use one, he'd likely find that there are two accepted spellings for the 50th state. One with and one without his beloved okina. He can kiss my okole.

So allow me to understand you're defense, just because you lived in Nanakuli for four years, and also some time spent on Ewa beach road, that you classify yourself as local? Boy, I've heard that same song and dance too many times. But it always crack's me up to hear the same tune again from another self-appointed local, thanks for the laugh!

Chalk up another one fo' da hui!

It's also funny that your like a little puppet, I got you to go look in the dictionary. I wonder what else I can control you to do. Hhmmmmm, seems pretty endless, but your too easy of a target, as demonstrated earlier, your pathetic!

Uhh... all I said was that I was treated well. I didn't classify myself as anything. Any Kama'aina knows one can't really be "local" unless one attended high school in the Islands...even the same one that failed Slats so miserably. Again, Slats shows off his great lack of reading comprehension. I'm not sure what I'm supposedly defending. I'm still just saying that most people are great in the Islands-full of Aloha. One doesn't have to be "local" to understand the concept of Aloha. The concept is clearly lost on Slats, however.

Another self-appointed Hui member? There are a lot of Hui's, but there's only one "Da Hui" (O' He'e Nalu) Anyone else here doubt the existence of an authentic pair of black shorts in this characters' dresser?

I look in the dictionary nearly daily, and without fail when I am going to put pen to paper. It's rather apparent the same isn't true of Slats.

Just to let you know einstein, you don't put an "okina" in the word Hawaiian.
If thats what you were suggesting, you're classic!
Actually, it was only half of what I was suggesting. However, the okina in the word Hawaiian is perfectly acceptable. I find the lack of consistency amusing. However, in the word "that's", the apostrophe is not optional. Slats is proving to be quite the entertainer.

Ahhh, the battle of wits with an unarmed opponent...

Standing by for the next great example of public school excellence.:p

Ah yes, the bookworm extrodinaire! I bet you're the person that everyone beat up in school!

Ladies and gentlemen, one sad thing that is true is that the public schools in Hawaii are the worst in the nation.
Brah, please! Being Navy/Air Force, you must've spent some time in scenic Mississippi. I'd much rather my groms get pub ed in HI. At least they would learn pidgen and how fo' surf!

And not to get in the middle of the discussion you and slats have going on but, I believe the point is that if you're not sure about moving to HI, it's probably not a good idea.

Shoots!

And just think.....those are the LONG legs. Just wanted to add that not everyone is stoked about doing 8-10 cycles a day. Eight hours of cruse would be my first choice, not three days flying the "O" line and still not getting eight hours of block time.

But, of course, unless they let us fly ITO-LIH-ITO-LIH without landing, high cycles will always be the norm.
 
Hey Hugh, brah, your internet must be CHEAP at your new domicile! Don't think you ever posted this much when you were deep in the heart of dixie. LBFMs and cheap internet. I hate you! ;)

I agree with Hugh. People in Hawaii, for the most part, are some of the best in the world. There are prikks everywhere, including Hawaii, so it should not surprise you. I am sure that if you look at the pilot's at WP, a fair number of them are haole's. So what. As long as you're not an a$$whole you'll be fine (just stay away from Waianae). If you think WP sounds like the place for you, then go to the interview, and take the job if it's offered to you. What some of the guy's above said is also true. Look into apartments, etc. before deciding to move, and make sure you'll be able to afford it on your salary. The rent prices have spiked, and are currently kind of ridiculous, so be prepared. Having said that, the flying is filled with 30-40 minute legs, beautiful weather, and controllers, who pretty much bend over backwards for you. I'm pretty sure that if you do decide to move to Hawaii, you'll never want to leave. Just my two cents.

I'm haole, & I like Waianae... whats the problem with Waianae?
 
I went to public school in Hawaii. I dont use okinas too lazy. It's great to look like a moke.

I like Waianae too, the more important question is, does Waianae like you?

I went to public school also, and am praying that my kids get into Kamehameha. Maybe then they'll be smart enough to avoid this industry all together.

I used to hit Makaha on a regular basis and to be perfectly honest I always welcomed,... (well if not truly welcomed definately accepted) out in the lineup with all the big name heavys out there. I became quite chatty with quite a few of them. Brian used to let me pull him into waves with his 4-man canoe... We ate $hit hard on this one wave..... We had fun... And I am as haole as they come.... Haven't made the trip in quite a while... It gets crowded out there these days...

I am not saying i'm special or anything.. I think anybody can have a great time in Waianae, Makaha, whatever, It's more about attitude than skin color or if you got koko... I think... Then if there's an ice problem in that neighborhood though all bets are off...
