Reserve rules?
Can anybody give me an idea about what the reserve rules are at Hawaiian? Short call and long call? Expected time to sit reserve as a new hire?
I would be trying to commute from the west coast if at all possible as a new hire. With a move to the Islands in a year or two.
Thanks for the help!

P.S. Commuting on company metal is often more painful than offline. I wouldn’t do it first year.

Thanks for the replies. I'm Really trying to find a way to make this work IF (and that is a big IF) I get a call.
Looks like I would be looking for a crash pad and trying to string days off together to go back to Socal. I'd like to avoid a move while my kid is in High school. I have dragged the family around the country enough chasing this career.

Reserve rules?
^^^ Just know that there are not an abundance of crash pads out here.
Edited. Seriously, reserve at HA is not that bad compared to reserve elsewhere. IMHO, if you’re not prepared to just move out here though... Good luck.

With the way our trips work, reserve is typically pretty benign. If you are on your last two days and they haven't called by mid afternoon, you can bet that your done for that day and the next.. (unless you're 717 of course)
In my experience, there is very little moving of your days off, and scheduling will work with you as best they can for specific reserve windows.
We have areas where we could improve on some work rules (reserve being one) But the type of flying we do lends to a very nice work day compared to other Legacies, most of the time.

On top of that crash pads can run in the $500-1000/mnth range for a room.

I think most reserves figure out their own bidding technique to minimize call outs.
If you're a commuter from the mainland, you possibly could ask to be released in time for your flight home on the last day, or atleast in time for another carriers later in the day.
If you live out here, you could probably plan your last day as a day off in terms of social events etc.. that has been my experience on the widebody flying during reserve...
