HAL Class date

Hello!

I am a new hire looking for an apartment/studio for rent in Waikiki area in case someone has one available.
Anyone here starting class on April 4th?
How feasible it is to take bus from Waikiki to training center?

Thank you!

The ride doen't look bad.
Does anyone has an idea about what the training schedule is like?
Is there any break between Indoc and Ground? Wondering if I will have time to rent an apartment.
I beleive renting a place in Waikiki requires a few days.

Thank you Gobows!

Have any of you out there applied in the last month and received a call or interview invitation? Trying to gauge if it’s “them” or “me.”

I and a former squadronmate applied the week of 12 Feb. Neither of us have received an invite or other feedback yet.

Save you a ton of money on hotels and also give you less stress of trying to find a place should you be a part of a fleet that doesn’t have a break between training and IOE. The other fleets I’ve heard are moving along quite quickly, the 330 has about a month backup between checkride to IOE. Again, this is always changing..

I think things are so backed up now that it may take a while to hear anything. Honestly doubt it means anything.
This company works on Hawaiian time.

Yep. Not to mention this company is undertaking about seven ambitious projects, managing operational challenges and training bubbles, while trying to navigate the company back into the black. Getting too far ahead of the hiring curve will get as costly as falling behind it. Even places like Frontier have cut schedules (hiring slowed) due to engine delays. Our attrition problems are than less those of the ULCCs and SWA. Thank goodness.
