Nice job, Delta Crew
Lose one, start the ape. Lose both and the risk is that if the apu does not start, you've lost a lot of the remaining battery power. Its not in the qrh to start the apu. -

How come they added an airplane, but only net 3 captain slots? -

Island Air Christmas Bonus - Bah Humbug!!
Ellison is getting a lot more than a couple hundred thousand in bad press over this. Time to shake up management again. -

HA - Latest System Bid
I think if you would find that our pilots fly more block hours than any other big player. The union should research the numbers and use them as a tool during negotiations. The interisland reserrves often fly 50+ hours per month. -

HA - Latest System Bid
Agree HAL, the vacation pay and training pay are bankruptcy concessions that should have been brought back to full value with no negotiating capital spent on the last contract. The scope clause is already starting affect the 717 lines. Lots of money going around and lots of hiring of managers... -

HA - Latest System Bid
There will be growth, though not to the extent of the big boys. We'll probably hire a total of 5 or 6 hundred by 2020. I heard that UAL will hire about 1400 this year. -

HA - Latest System Bid
Some people do make pretty long commutes even interisland pilots. Realistically, with all the big boys hiring, you are better off at DAL, AAL, or UAL at least for a shorter commute in the future if nothing else. HAL is a good place to work, but commuting will never get easier. -

Airbus: Pilots don't really need windows
Its part of managements "Treat them like mushrooms" plan. -

HAL hiring
I think the group is disappointed in one person more so than the others. There does appear to be inappropriate spending of union funds. -

HAL hiring
The last vacancy bid had a reduction in 717 slots, Ohana will be flying flights currently flown by the 717. Not exactly a warm fuzzy for the interisland pilots. Any reduction is bad for the group as a whole. -

United 1st Year Pay
When considering an airline career, you must plan ahead for first year pay at any airline. It probably will probably never change, the best thing is to have some money saved to make it through year one. Year two typically doubles (or higher) first year pay. Plan on min guarantee for budgeting. -

HAL hiring
The fact is the pilot group gave up scope on the last contract. It was sold hard by the MEC and really nothing was gained by doing so. Hopefully the leadership and entire group will put a little more thought before agreeing to the next contract. We should have already learned the lesson about... -

HAL hiring
Ohana will be doing OGG to the Big Island routes (they've already done some proving runs to ITO)and possibly to LIH in the future. That flying is currently done by the 717 and nothing in the contract precludes Ohana from doing it. -
J
HAL hiring
Too late to take control of Ohana. That was given up in the current contract and management will never give it up. -

HAL hiring
In a merger it usually seems that most in labor lose and management wins. -

HAL hiring
SWA will buy HAL and refurbish the 717's and 330's and give them to Delta for below market prices. -
