I have a friend with a house on the big island. We go out there often, and I'm out there for my job often. People say to use an address on the island but what does that mean? Are they going to be mad when they find out it's my friend's vacation home? Is that too big of a risk since it isn't a huge tie? Should I just get a job at Island air for a year or so?
I wouldn't jump over for anything else than Hawaiian, unless it's an upgrade from your current gig. I've talked to island air guys who interview and are told to go to the mainland to get jet experience, go figure.
The island address may help, might as well try and find out
