New First Officer posting for Hawaiian

[808pilot]

i heard that as well....they were going to go through those that interviewed last year first....drain that 'pool' of people and than crank up again....anyone from last year get called yet?

 

[jmt]

I know somebody who was in the last group that interviewed last year. HR told him that a few pilots were asked to come in for their last screening a couple weeks ago. Those pilots interviewed last year.

I found out that some calls went out today to people who interviewed last year to come in next week. I wonder if they'llhave to reinterview and go through the whole process again.

 

[Varig]

What was the interview process like last year?

Some place in the states is actually hiring!!!!

This industry doesn't completely suck now!!!

You have to move to Hawaii though, unless you want to sign up for the country's ********************tiest commute.

Actually if you live on the west coast, the commute isn't that bad (speaking from experience here). One 5-hour leg to get to your base is better than a 2-leg mess trying to get to your commuter base in the midwest. And doing it on your own airline gives you priority on non-reving or the jumpseat too. Yes, commuting from anywhere is a hassle, but HNL really isn't more difficult than any other base.

Since there are HNL nonstops from just about every major hub in the US, it can be done. Heck, we even have guys commuting from DEN, ATL, and DCA these days.

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