Hawaiian hires anything and everything in terms of experience.... I've posted it before, but my class ranged for age 50, several major/legacy airlines on their resume and 10+ types, widebody, international, etc... to age 26, FAR 135 Shorts and nothing else..

Who you know is a big part is lowering the exp requirements, but from the looks of it, you've got that covered VERY nicely...

So the short answer is.. I'm not sure what would be holding you back, other than there are only so many jobs for so many applicants..

The most senior pilot check airman (and APD) who I just finished IOE with has a son trying to get hired as well, and he's got about the same resume as you. What he told me is HAL tries to hire the gamut so they can get the experience they need for a rapidly expanding global airline, while at the same time trying as much as possible to keep it in the family and help out those with family and friends on the Islands wanting to get hired on.. it's a balance he said.
