Exclamation $36 per Hour ... LOL

"The state with the highest cost of living index is Hawaii, whose index is 196.3. This means that the cost of living in Hawaii is 96.3% higher than the U.S. average. Hawaii's housing index is 336.3, where a two-bedroom costs about $1,895 per month, and the median home value is about $660,000" (source).

Hmm, at minimum guarantee, you're looking at $2,700/month gross ... factor in taxes, after $1,900/month rent ... I guess it's ramen, water, and walking to the airport for work each day.

According to my realtor email yesterday the median home price on Oahu is $1,060,000.

The number you mentioned might be state average though it seems low as well.

Good luck.

Your realtor is correct. Prices have gone up due to the pandemic. And really, a million buys you a house in a an area that is less desirable or in poor shape.
Hawaiian's management team has no clue to reality and the only way to increase the starting pay is to have no one apply.

Default Benefits and Privileges

Are the healthcare benefits and retirement plans comparable to the majors? I saw on the HAL profile page that the company only does 401k matching contribution for new hires. Does that mean they stop matching contributions from the second year and beyond?

15% contribution to 401k starting on day 1. It continues your whole career.

they just increased 1st year pay last week. $10k bonus for new hires too.

that’s what happens when you only get 200 applications for 100 slots and people start not showing up for indoc.

What city or area do HA pilots typically live in Hawaii? Or afford to live? Decent area to raise family?

Are all simulator training done in Hawaii? If not where?

this.

Stating the obvious here, buying a house is stupid expensive. From what I’ve seen, the big island is affordable. How’s the commute from there?
