Experiance on B206, AB212, S76 A++, C+, C++, AS365 (N1-N2-N3), R22. Fixed wing about 500hrs most turbo prop single and multi engine. I have flown in all kinf of enviroment from desert to mountain, from off shore to hospitals, from ships to fire fighting, from SAR to hook and hoist ops, single pilot and multi crew IFR...day, night, NVG etc.
Right know working toward CFI/CFII and FAA ATP AMEL.

I am looking to have some info about type of jobs and build a network of contacts that can help me to move and work in Hawaii.

When I flew on Kauai, the average hour level was around 10k. Be prepared to have your eyes opened..... I wish you luck, but pretty much tours is all you are going to get.

Blue Hawaiian has been advertising quite a bit lately for tour pilots. If you are proficient (or just need to get up to speed) in utility type work, I don't think you would have to fly tours for long. 3000 hours should be plenty.

According to their website they are looking for a tour pilot, min 2500hr.

And the owner is an ex 'Nam military pilot.

hmmm

Krypton, I detect a bit of sarcasm in your "nam" comment as I don't see the relevance to the rest of the post. How about it?

Cheers

And Blue does how much utility?....... And they are always looking fro tour pilots... Like I said... Be prepared to have your eyes opened... enough said... please come back on here and tell us about your experience...

Grumpy, not sure what you took from my post but my point was that the owner is ex-mil and the original poster looking for a spot is an ex-mil driver. Also the roster at Blue is mostly ex-mil. In other words they might get along.

OK?

Gordy, the OP didn't say anything about utility - only that he was looking for a job in HI.

When I was last in Hawaii, 30,000+ hour ex-military guys were flying tours.
You'll love the place. Good luck.

???

Not sure where you got the 'sarcasm' feeling but I took his comment about the owner being a 'Nam pilot as a positive.

I looked at each company in Oahu, sendresume, went door to door, but no luck! Maybe is just meWhile waiting for the right job I add some categories to myATP and I have keept myself busy flying for fun. I hope things will change in 2013.
