Hiring is not going to be a problem for a long time except for replacing people off the bottom to cover attrition as they realize upgrade times are way longer, seniority progression is way slower, base and fleet options are lower than our legacy peers.

Problems:
- Displacement bids from retiring fleets
- Shrinking HNL base
- "Unknown" future of Amazon flying (I bet all those folks live on the mainland)

Unless BM has a secret plan that opens more mainland bases or something this place is going to be a stagnated disaster for pilots for a decade.
