You do get a hotel if you go for sim training at other locations besides HNL. It wouldn’t surprise me if they did start offering a hotel at HNL, but who knows when/if that will be. Don’t work here if you don’t plan on finding permanent housing. There aren’t too many crashpad type options, and reserve is always short-call.
Lol the regional I fly for got me a hotel for training even though I already lived 15 minutes from the training base. Crazy to think there's an airline who doesn't get you a hotel for training.
If I worked for Hawaiian I would certainly want to move to HNL but it would take me a while of actually being on the island to find a place. I have a wife and kids and won't get a place where I haven't personally been to, to scout out the area. That's not really possible while I'm working for a regional on the mainland. If they offered a hotel during training I could use my free time to find a permanent location for my family.
