New First Officer posting for Hawaiian

[HAL]

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!

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

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?

[flyf15]

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.
