Thanks, av8or55 and Rama. I agree with both of you. Without going into detail, my situation is complicated but you’re right, I should just try to get on board ASAP. Looking forward to the next hiring window!

Everything changes, but that number could make a difference down the road.

i would absolutely agree with this statement. It certainly made a difference for me last year. I was just referring to the fact that one should not wait to apply based on commutability. Apply first and worry about the other stuff after you get an offer.

Is it still looking like Q1 2022 for the hiring window to open?

I was told that Southwest has been really aggressive with island and even inter island flights. Is this much of a threat to Hawaiian?

Threat yes. But no foregone conclusion. SWA has struggled to get traction despite throwing lots of money away. The main reason they are doing so is to cause HAL harm, and assert dominance, but Not to necessarily run them under.

Cos they’re ruthless? Harsh maybe but they don’t muck around. HAL in comparison is too timid imho.

Dismal loads despite fire-sale fares. HAL’s loads are double. What their up to is no different than what their up to everywhere else they fly. Outlast. Time will tell since there is a limit, even for them. HAL and other small carriers have been underestimated by all in the past.
