Are you in the pool or flying for Hawaiian already? I’m in the pool and still waiting for a class.

Is there a seat lock? Like if you go to the freight side, but a 10 months later bidding for the 321 or 717 would be more conducive, can you?

Most people search this common question...
There is no seat lock, it's a training freeze.
If you select or awarded freight, you are frozen 12 months and 24 months in the 330.
That's it, no jumping around between fleets.
No.

I’m a pilot at Hawaiian we were told in the all call that they are planning to hire 50 more Hawaiian pilots for the year and Alaska is gonna hire 40 by the end of the year. Hang in there!

It's a big bone of contention that for a lot of 717 FOs that after being on property for over two years, they can be earning $30 an hour less than someone hired a year after them, but their lock still isn't expired. Nobody properly explains how our "training freeze" actually works to new hires, they just tell them 2 year freeze, which is not correct.
