With the 330s being replaced and 787s delivered mostly post merger there is a lot to be lost in terms of widebody positions for Hawaiian pilots. I don't know how that career expectation can be maintained.
Me neither, but if you include Amazon and the 787 orders in sim that’s fifty some wide bodies. Equaling a greater number than our seniority list when it’s all said and done. Our largest amount of vacancies to new hires is in widebodies. Neo and 717 pilots are somewhat happy with that style of flying plus they upgrade quicker.
