HAL, do you know if they're planning to run any classes this month?

 

[skypine69]

Have they ever furloughed?

Thanks

Are you being serious? What if they have? Are you going to not apply there?

 

[Hansoma]

Aren't you based in SEA now, and commuting all of 20 minutes round trip? Must be nice!

Every now and then the moderators screw up and let a low-life useless airways former Cactus pilot slip by.

How is the Island flying these days?

So the requirement is 1500 hours PIC turbine?

I heard too that they're having interviews this week. I'm also wondering if they're planning any classes this month.

 

[HAL]

I don't know about interviews this week, but I know calls have been going out today for interviews for next week. No classes that I know of in July (except for the group of 9 already hired), but I wouldn't doubt it if they start classes in August or Sept.

flyf15, it's either 1500TT, or if you don't have that, 1000 turbine PIC as minimums. That's for military types that may not have flown much, but still have turbine time under their belts.

California, yes, HA has furloughed many times (me included, 2003 - '06). Years ago, before transpacific flying started, it was normal ops to fly for the spring-fall, and be furloughed for the winter. It might take several years before you had enough seniority to fly year-round. The furloughs I know about were a big one around '92 that didn't get everyone recalled until '98, and this last one that started in early '03, and didn't get everyone back until spring '08. Of course there are some people who happened to get hired at the right time and have never been furloughed, but it's just a matter of luck really. Hopefully they'll have some steady growth in the future and not have to furlough again, but looking at this industry's track record, I kind of doubt it.

Does anyone have the interview gouge? It used to be posted on aviationinterviews.com
I'm specifically looking for the company that does the Simulator prep in HNL

Thx in advance, Migration

 

[Ainokea]

Does anyone know if calls are still going out?

 

[NEDude]

Anyone know how many people applied for the 30-40 open spots?

 

[Hansoma]

Thousands

 

[Jet_Dreamer]

did they take the listing down from their web site already?
how long was it up, a week??
geezzzzz!:bawling:

 

[HAL]

Yes, the listing is down. They had well over 1000 applications during the time it was up, called 300 for interviews, and will put about 100 in the pool. This first round of vacancies will bring maybe 25 or 30 into HA for training, with the rest swimming until later next year for additional hiring.

So if I haven't gotten a call to interview yet, should I not expect one in the near future?

 

[HAL]

Since I am getting a bucket full of PM's with essentially the same questions, here's what I (don't) know: This week they started interviewing the people who filled out their online apps from this window. I don't know how many they've called yet out of the 300 or so (hearsay) they plan on interviewing. I don't know if they've called all 300 yet. Originally they planned on doing all 300 interviews, then calling back the 'winners' for the psych eval & physical. But I heard today that some of Monday's interviewees were called that evening to do the psych & physical today. So the short answer is - things change by the minute, and since I don't work for the HR department, I really don't know at all what is going on with the process, or how far along it is. If you haven't been called yet, you might, or you might not, and that's about as precise as I can be. Sorry folks, but they're keeping this one pretty hushed up.

[bruddahgoose]

Hal, thanks for the update; a few of us who interviewed last year then again last week are just wondering when we're going to get that next call. Hopefully we won't have to wait as long this time around.

 

[landlover]

thanks hal

I heard there's a small class (don't know how many pilots) scheduled sometime next month.

Does anyone have any current interview gouge?
