I know a few pilots that flew at Ohana and left for Compass, Skywest or AQ Cargo, then got on with Hawaiian. They said there are a few that went directly from Ohana to HAL, but many get rejected. The word on the street was that HAL wants to see jet time.
Maybe that will change now that they have the WP certificate.

I see a lot of people mentioning Compass. Any reason why Compass and not any other regional?

My mistake, it is 4 from WP.
Compass and Skywest seem to supply a lot of the new hires, many from Compass are Hawaii residents.

Pilots from HI pick Compass over the others because they can get LAX as a base right out of training and they guaranteed to fly E175

What's the status of Hawaiian purchasing the Island Air certificate? Last I heard was a court hearing on January 5th and the price to buy the certificate decreased. Haven't heard anything since then.
