Hawaiian is hiring!!

[sat74]

FA personel have input on pilot hiring? Are you serious! If only pilots could have input on FA hiring.... there would be a dramatic change!

 

[lookin4better]

If you have to ask what the mins are and how to apply, You are not competitive.

C'mon now.... no need to be mean

 

[lookin4better]

the real question is, how do we apply?

If you applied last time they were hiring, you can sign in now on the company website and update all of your info/application/resume.

My guess would be if you dont have one online with them already, you will have to wait until they post the open position to start an application.

HAL , thanks for your informative comments!

I know that the HR dept. ranks the people they bring in to interview by a number of factors including TT, jet time, and types of aircraft flown. But I also know several people hired recently with maybe 3k or 4k hours. You also pretty much require a personal recommendation from a current HA pilot. A lot depends on your personality too, because since HR took over the hiring you have to go through a gauntlet of psych tests and interviews with HR and FA personnel. The big question is not only if you can fly the plane, but are you the type of person we wouldn't mind spending 12 hours with in the cockpit between HNL and SYD? This is Hawaii after all, and judging by our average HA pilot, you should be a good stick with a relaxed personality; arrogant a-holes needn't apply.

Thanks HAL for all the info!

HAL & lookin4better thanks for the info. unfortunately I have never applied to hawaiian before.

Green(bloated ego)Banana,

after reading HAL's post I am quite competitive.

good luck to everyone.

Relax, I am just saying, If you have to ask what the minimum flight time is, then you don't have that much flight time to begin with. Hawaiian has always held internal recommendations extremely high, and rightfully so. Your contact on the inside will put you in touch with HR. It is just the way the game is played.

So HAL, the big questio
n now is how much do you charge to do an internal rec?

I was checking ebay to see what they are going for!

There are a lot of high time ATA guys on the street with international and Hawaii experience that would fit the bill very well.

I sure hope it's the 717. Those are so much newer with the glass cockpits! I'd even pay to get a job in that!

shiny jet syndrome strikes again..ugbfsm..

What the hell is a twitter?

I think it was laced with heavy dose of sarcasm. I'm pretty sure he flies for DL

I'd lean more toward a nice Bundaberg rum, although the rumor around the crew room is that you'd hand out a recommendation for a bottle of Bartles & Jaymes.

As for mins - I don't have a clue. Of course you'll need ATP mins at least, but to be competitive, probably3k-4k hours, time in jets, and some connection to the islands or someone who works there. Without a recommendation it will be awfuly hard to get a job here.
HAL

IOW, haoles need not apply.

 

[iflyhigh]

Nice to see Hawaiian is hiring. Maybe their is some lite at the end of the dark tunnel.

 

[HAL]

IOW, haoles need not apply.

Not at all. By connection I mean living (or have lived) in the islands, or have family there, or know someone who works for HA. But if you go into the interview process at HA with an 'us vs. them' attitude, you'll never make it past the first round. Locals may have an advantage because they live there and know some HA pilots, but you have to have the experience and good attitude to get there too.

I am curious, how would you show on an application or resume that you have some connections to the islands? I mean if I lived there for a couple of years as a kid and have an Aunt and Uncle over there, how would I show that before I got to an interview?

Not that I meet any of those criteria, but other than an internal rec or something obvious like a Hawaiian address or a degree from the University of Hawaii on your resume, how would they know when your application hits their desks if you have a connection to the islands?

HAL what is the address of the crew room to ship that Bartles & Jaymes?

If you don't have that internal letter of recommendation from an HA employee, you should put it into a cover letter with your resume. My guess is that is the only way to make sure the info gets into the system along with your experience.

As for the Bartles & Jaymes for Hansoma, try sending it to our LAS station. His schedule looks like HNL-LAS-HNL-LAS-HNL-LAS-HNL-LAS-HNL (then a couple days home) LAS-HNL-LAS-HNL etc, etc.
