Excuse my ignorance since I’m one of those waiting on a class date. How does the company determine whether or not they’ll do a vacancy bid? I assume there’s a crew ratio for each aircraft… so when enough pilots have retired, left, or the company gets more planes delivered, they’ll start new hire classes.
When was the last Hawaiian new hire class? I think I remember September or October 2025? I’m curious if the next classes that the Air Group offers will go to the Alaska or Hawaiian side, since we were told to hold tight til the fall by the company. Thanks!
