HAWAIIAN Phase III invites

[Junkflyer]

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

 

[Humblepilot]

A couple of questions. Does anyone have the retirement numbers going forward and can anyone estimate how long it would take to hold SEA as a base? Many thanks.

10 to 15 a year for retirement.

Years for SEA.

Does anyone know if you get the "thanks, but no thanks letter" after phase 3, can you still be considered for an interview or employment after about a year passing?

 

[Hansoma]

I don't think it will be "years" for SEA. Depending on the size of the next few bids and the retirements up there, you could see a number of FO'S upgrading leaving openings in SEA.

 

[HAL]

Hansoma is right. There's been quite a few very senior FO's in Seattle for the last several years, but with the rumored size of the next bid, I wouldn't be surprised to have a lot of them move up, opening up space for some pretty junior people to step into SEA.

As for the retirement numbers, it's really difficult to put a finger on. About half of the 'over 60' crowd has already retired, even though nobody has reached 65 yet. I'm sure some will stay as long as they can, and some will go out before 65, but the numbers are flexible. I think there's roughly 10 to 20 people turning 60 each year for the next 10+ years. Once we reach the point late this year when the 65's have to go, it should balance out to about those numbers each year.

I applied the night the window opened on the 25th.... Two days later I received an automated msg. that my application was incomplete so of course I freaked out. Turns out it was Hawaiian sending the rest of the application that included "flight times, ATP, why you want to work here" questions...

I filled it out and sent it back immediately...

My question is:

Is there any way to verify they received all the necessary application information? My online account says my application was received on the 26th. But nothing concerning the extra section I completed on the 27th. I re-clicked the e-mail link and it allows me to go through the application (similar to editing it) but when you get to the flight time section it's blank again. I assume since it was a link from the e-mail it's just a generic default link? And not what I actually filled out..

Should I try to contact HR just to make sure? Or does anyone have a phone number to call?

Thanks

 

[shroomwell]

Should you even waste time applying if you are a main lander who knows nobody at HAL?

 

[Dan Roman]

Lot's of pilots hired from outside Hawaii, some don't know anyone a lot do.

 

[BentOver]

Rats..I was hoping this thread would get buried somewhere into page three and nobody besides a few hundred pilots in Hawaii would know they are accepting applications:laugh:

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?

 

[fly4surf]

The one that pays the most, duh.

 

[BentOver]

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)

 

[Jim]

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

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.
