Space A is a completely different animal.
I know nothing of Hawaiian's hiring practices, but I'm assuming their interview is one day, at a specific time. You just cant count on Space A to get you there.
I flew Space A to Hawaii a couple of years ago, spent three days in San Francisco waiting on a flight there, then two days in Hawaii waiting for a flight out. That only gets you to San Francisco, or Seattle, or maybe San Antonio. Then, you've gotta get home. I know most airline guys don't have to buy tickets, but buying same day airline tickets is quite expensive.
Hawaiian is a fine airline to work for, I'm sure, but most military guys that aren't stationed in Hawaii can't afford to apply there.
Heck, I can badly afford to go to job fairs!
