I had an informal discussion with the CP on this subject last week; he said that if you haven't heard from the company you are still in the pool. He said that some rejections letters have been sent out, but he didn't know how many. The problem is that they have only been authorized to hire for the 35 currently open positions, yet they know they'll need more within the next few months. So instead of just doing a few at a time, HR decided to create a larger pool from which they can continue the hiring next year (and the year after that, etc) without having to crank up the interview/sim/test process every few months. I mentioned that I didn't know of any other airline that goes about it this way, and he agreed, saying that HR is running the process and the flight department doesn't have that much say in 'how' the process is run, just in 'who' gets the final call. So honestly no news is good news - you're still in the pool. Also - he mentioned that for these first few classes the people they've been selecting have tended toward high total flight times - in the 7k to 10k totals. That doesn't mean that if you have less you won't get a call, but rather that it won't be immediate, and you'll have to swim in the pool a bit longer. I'd expect another bid for another 35+ to be out by early next year. If you're swimming, I am really sorry about how HA has handled the process, especially not letting you know where you stand. But again, if you haven't heard from HR yet, you still have a shot.
