HAWAIIAN Phase III invites

[mushroom]

Their online application looks as if the programming for it was done by a high schooler. Not very user-friendly. I clicked "apply online" from the list of open jobs and it took me right to the "profile" page. Some of the fields were filled in since I had previously applied to HAL a couple years ago. I corrected them as I went, etc. After going through many pages and submitting my application, I went back to look at my profile on file and saw that it had all of my old email and contact information, old address, old flight times, etc saved. So it appears that is what went with the application when I submitted it. Oh well. There doesn't seem to be any way to correct my profile without redoing the entire application. And then I don't know what will happen if I do because I will theoretically have two different applications on file with different email addresses, flight times, etc. Again, oh well.

And an application that asks what my favorite airplane is and why? Seriously?

The one that pays the most, duh.

Anyone else having trouble accessing the second portion of the app. after already submitting it? I assume all the info was saved and sent correctly but there is no way to verify what info they have.

I can still edit my profile(jobs, criminal background etc) all the way up to it being submitted, but can't access the Flight Grid portion of the app anymore. (after using the link they sent in the e-mail after first applying)

I asked our pilot manager about this and the other similar questions. They are trying to get a read on the individual and this is one of they ways they are using to break an application out of the pile of the pile of 3000 or so they've received.

Got called for the interview... mainlander... very little turbine pic... do not know anyone at HA....

 

[mkingmei]

Did u get called recently or r u talking about the past. if recently, when r u going?
im sure we'd all love some info.

 

[cougarblue]

I second that- would love to hear if calls or emails have gone out. Also is the time between notice & interview still just a couple weeks? How many are they looking to hire? would be a dream come true!

New bid came out with lots of additional Airbus slots, 82 more pilots in total.

 

[HAL]

New bid came out with lots of additional Airbus slots, 82 more pilots in total.

It's 82 additional slots, plus with retirements, medicals, & executive moves it comes to 95 new-hires. For a company our size that is incredible!

Wow! How many HAL refs did you have? I only have 1 and haven't heard a thing...

 

[Guam360]

The head of hr only makes 700+k per year so don't expect too much.

Duuuude, Junk,
what's up man? I am going to try again, just applied.

 

[av8tor4239]

No recs... I dont know anyone that works there... I am kind of shocked...

 

[Coool Hand Luke]

No recs... I dont know anyone that works there... I am kind of shocked...

Same here. No recs, but I've dropped my stuff off in person every summer for the last 4-summers (while on family vacation) and still nothing but crickets. Congrats man!

 

[Full of LUV]

I applied tuesday june 5th and got an email this morning inviting me to interview in 3 days on june 12th...

Wow, three days from phone call to interview, believe it or not that's longer notice than usual.... Best of luck!

 

[Emb120Trash]

Interview before app window even closes....I'm calling bull***t, but whatever.

 

[FFFO]

Interview emails are going out, but getting one with no internal rec is probably B.S....

 

[808pilot]

I spoke with one of the people taking the letters of rec and they said that from the day the app window opened they began reviewing apps... I know of three guys that have an interview lined up for tues... Happens quick... And they have hired a bunch of guys that have had no ties to the company... They just happened to have applied a bunch of times in the past... Best of luck... 95 guys for the year is a good amount....

 

[cougarblue]

808pilot thanks for the good info!

 

[igneousy2]

From talking to people I know there and from knowing a lot of the people getting interviews this early...it sounds like these are all guys/gals that have reapplied again and just missed the cut the last go around so Hawaiian already has a pretty good idea about who they are without having to wade through the stack to pull out the ones with no history.

Heard...previous 1st/2nd interview combined into one day with 3rd interview the following day if selected with an immediate up or down at the end of the process. <--- someone interviewing please confirm.



Also heard interviews twice a month from now until November.

Good luck
