HAWAIIAN Phase III invites

[xjhawk]

I sure hope the SIM is not one of those desk top ones regionals use to evaluate 300 hour guys.....lol

 

[Jim]

It is. Where do you think they'll find a real sim in Honolulu?

 

[AlohaFlyer]

Does anyone know what the junior aircraft is there?

 

[Jim]

Any of them. New hires have gone to all.

It is. Where do you think they'll find a real sim in Honolulu?

so where does someone get some training on that thing? any suggestions, anywhere? plz, thx

 

[Dan Roman]

I'm not sure but I think you can check with the FBO (sorry, not sure which one) but I'm sure a couple calls to the local FBO's would tell you who offers frasca? dual.

Does anyone know what the junior aircraft is there?

After this last bid closed, there are 40 new-hire spots on the A330, 21 on the 767, and 5 on the 717.

And lots & lots of movement everywhere for those of us already there!

i agree with dan 100%... i pester the crap out of hawaiian.... i'm in the CP's office every other month updating my resume even if its only for 20 new hrs... squeaky wheel all the way.... this will have been my third time interviewing... no quitting here...
just got done with phase 1... same as before... really hoping i didn't blow anything that i wasn't aware of.... now time for a beer to calm the nerves that are frayed beyond repair....

Your approach seems to be working if you got your third interview! Do you call ahead or just swing by and ask to see the Chief Pilot? I have been resubmitting every time Hawaiian has a job posting but I don't know anyone there. Hmmm, maybe have to apply the squeaky wheel approach. Good luck on the next phase!

i always call ahead... he is a pretty busy guy so you really never know when he will be in his office...
in terms of the sim... man, i don't know what you could prep on to be ready for that thing... a frasca is way better than that thing... the sim is just really old and and pretty tough to trim out... i think it comes down to dumb luck if you can keep the altitude within 200' of assigned...
HAL... thanks for that update... i just heard of a buddy that is going to be upgrading to the 71... he was recalled back in 07'... good sign of things to come....

Congrats to those that made it, dream job.

 

[Ainokea]

Anybody heard anything from HAL this week?

 

[Microclimates]

Just got the 'thanks but no thanks' email... Trying to crawl out from under the ton of bricks that just hit me, though I always knew it was a very long shot...

Good luck to everyone who's gunning for this dream job.

 

[xjhawk]

Yeah I just got the same email. On the very same day I was told I went from 391 out of 1100 at Mesaba to 1255 out of 2900 at Pinnacle. Not a very good day for me-but what I have learned is that I will keep trying! I wonder if the CP at Hawaiian used to be in the Army so we have something in common to talk about? lol Best of luck to all of you who got an interview!

As usual no one seems to know what they are looking for. I guess a ton of internal contacts is the key. Although I know of some people that dont know anyone there that have been getting at least a chance. Pretty disappointing!

 

[skysharke]

I just got the same email. Bummer!

[xjhawk]

you all might be getting a second email from their director of HR. Interesting and it put a smile on my face tonight after some disappointing news concerning our merger. one of my favorite quotes from a movie...."so you are saying there is a chance!"

 

[808pilot]

just found out that email was sent out in error.... a bunch of people got it even those that interviewed less than a week ago... just got an email from HR telling us to disregard the email... keep the hope alive!!!

 

[DHPFLYN]

I have got 4 emails in the past 2hrs. Glad i am not out yet. Yeah

 

[Ainokea]

Phase 3's made...hmm...

 

[metrodriver]

Got the thanks-but-no-thanks email. Now waiting for one that has better news.
