Once this number was finally determined, to state they are committed to hiring from the pool in 2024 and 2025 but under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will CJO's be extended beyond 1 year is completely classless! You're clearly not committed to hiring from the pool! We will probably see an issue in 2025 where so many prospective pilots who have been patient and committed to Hawaiian Airlines have their CJO's expire and people who have been waiting half the amount of time will get offers. Hawaiian needs to take a chapter out of Southwest's book and extend those CJO's and show some faith in people who have invested time and effort into them! I understand it's conditional but that doesn't negate the use of common sense and humility.
It’s a CJO. It’s conditional based on a myriad of factors. Those factors probably also include many people at Koapaka knowing they probably won’t have a job if the merger goes through and their work will shift to those already in Seattle. If the merger doesn’t go through then the company is going to have to reorganize and come with a way to make a profit- probably with less pilots and re-negotiated employment contracts. Sorry to say- you are not really a priority
You should be a applying elsewhere and taking whatever comes first
To compare HA to SW is dumb. One has close to 13 billion in the bank and a profitable operation up until last quarter. The other is losing 1.5 million dollars a day.
