Hawaiian is growing regardless of Amazon, and anyone hired in the next two years will not be facing furlough even if Amazon pulls the 330 freighters in 8-10 years when the contract is up. The retirement numbers alone will more than offset the loss of those planes in that time span. As has been stated multiple times, the decision comes down to where one wants to live. If the answer is HI, then HAL is the choice and the water is always warm. If you want to live on the mainland, then long term UAL is the clear winner.
