Hawaiian is hiring!!

[Hansoma]

There was a class cancelled last year and they kept those people in a pool. The uncomfirmed rumor is that HR wanted to re-interview everyone in the pool but only about half accepted (most have found other jobs). So they might be doing something very shortly to fill the 11 newhire positions on this latest vacancy bid. That's just the scuttlebutt around the crewroom (Bartles & Jaymes not withstanding!).

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?

Just watch a few episodes of "Dog, the Bounty Hunter" while drunk, learn some lingo and you'll be all set in the interview.

Ok, got the DVR set to record every episode. Off to get the beer! :laugh:

How does a letter of rec from a station chief work, I used to work for Hawaiian as a ticket agent in OGG. Would that help out my cause to get into one of those Hawaiian cockpits?

Can't confirm nor deny but heard that a class has been set for the end of this month for the 11...the next question is when will the next class happen.

Don't know for sure, but I would guess most of the guys on the sreet are more likely guys with lots of RJ experience, who took a shot at some majors during the 2005-2008 hiring. Other than some TWA guys from 8-9 years ago, I don't know where a lot of guys with 767 time would be on the street from. Again, just guessing, but the guys on furlough from the majors/nationals, would be more likely to be 737/A320 type guys. That or very low time RJ guys on furlough from the regionals.

I could be wrong though, it did happen once before a long time ago .

Well lets see ATA, North American, Max Jet or whatever it was called out of IAD...

Well so you have the seven furloughed North American guys, the 50 or so MaxJet pilots (five airplanes x 10 pilots per airplane - roughly speaking), the 60 or so guys from EOS (6 times the same formula) and the ATA guys who had 757 time and didn't get hired by another airline during the last few years of downsizing.

Relatively speaking (important to keep that in mind), based on the airlines being mentioned and time since their shutdown/furlough/merger (particulalry the TWA guys as someone else mentioned) my guess is there are not a whole lot out of work guys with 757/767 time relative to the total number of out of work pilots. I still think most of the out of work pilots right now are either the junior guys from the regionals, or guys like myself who left the regionals during the 2005-2008 hiring boom and for the most part got on to 737/A320 type aircraft.
