Coa

COA call outs and interviews are happening as we speek. Buddy of mine confirms

Interesting....I wonder if this is just for the assistants or the regular dispatch positions they had open? If it is for the regular dispatch positions, I wonder what their criteria is for calling you for an interview, because I have not gotten anything from them or UAL for the postings they had. I meet all the quals, but no word.

One would think that if one qualifies, and they were not called for the DX position, they would automatically be rolled over to the assistant pile.

I had a buddy that was going to interview with Hawaiian earlier this year. They would not fly him there, and you were on your own for travel and lodging. We all know how easy it is the non-rev to Hawaii right?

Are you serious???!!! Wow, that is insane

I think that is their roundabout way of saying "Haoles" need not apply. There is a strong racial preference in our 50th state that would not fly in the other 49. Fair or not, they seem to prefer native Hawaiians over other US citizens. Just ask anyone that has lived there.

For what they pay (~$19/hr) one could not afford a cot over there.

Your buddy should consider himself lucky he did not pursue the job.

The other airline in Hawaii Won't even look at your resume unless you have a Hawaii Driver's license. Nice way to get rid of the non locals.

I mean if the pay was livable, and I was single I would be all for it. But it is what it is.

My buddy was planning on going out on one of the carriers out of LAX/SFO/SEA and just hope to make it. But you are on your own for everything. Ouch

Luckily he ended up getting a better gig elseware.

Was Air Mike or the SJU Eagle positions the same? I know they posted externally, but I wonder if it was the same in those offices as in the Hawaiian carriers.
