Mokulele And Pacific Wings ?

[CAPTAINAMERICA]

Does anyone have any idea why Mokulele Airlines and Pacific Wings Airlines does not serve the Island of Kauai on a scheduled basis ?

It appears that the rest of the Hawaiian Islands are served on a regular basis by both air carriers.

VFR captains can't see that far.

The following was copied from pilots central regional's forum---


Anybody know anything about a pilot who quit Pacific Wings and then had to call for a Maui Police escort to pick up personal items and drop off co-mat?? Terrific Island Lifestyle my foot. Somethings never change...



Yes, the pilot who called the police to retrieve his items was my friend who was fired for refusing to accept an airplane that was not in safe condition to fly. Pac Wings refused to let my friend get into his locker and grab his Bose headsets along with some personal items. That alone should give you an indication on how they operate.
As for the pilot saying he ws near IFR mins with 670tt your about 5+ months away from mins if you fly 100hrs a month. Remember 135 IFR mins are 1200tt, 500xc, 100 night. I do think Georgia skies is real strict about this however; their SIC's mins are much lower... Happy hunting.

Not enough money to be made to take the risk of an engine crapping out! :laugh:

From what i heard after talking to a few captain and sic that work there, the place is somewhat better now. Don't expect royal treatment but i think there are good oportunities here for those who wants to do hard work. But good luck living in Maui with 9 bucks an hour. Like the famous quote, you could make decent money in aviation if you start out with a lot of money.
