I’m not looking to commute, but would need a block of at least 9 days off every other month to get back to see my kids in east Asia. As a new joiner (after being checked to line) is this realistically achievable right now, especially on the short haul fleets? Thank you for any input.

your best option to do that would be to bid reserve. We have the ability to bid all 12 days off in a row. Potentially stringing 24 days off in a row from month to month. Being junior would affect your ability to actually achieve that, but I would imagine you could get stretches of days off during non peak travel seasons. Whether that sticks around with a new joint contract is a mystery.

Unless you’re based anywhere other than Seattle. I too hope the ability to stack reserve days stays in the JCBA. Any improvements to flexibility are a plus.

How does fleet bidding work for new hires? I know SSN determines initial seniority, but does a new hire class get to bid on any of these 70 slots, or if there's a class of 10, you get 10 choices? I've only worked at carriers with a single fleet or where you're assigned a fleet, so this whole system is new to me.

Hiring window opens June 2nd-5th on the Hawaiian Airlines hiring portal. Looks like it won't be for very many applicants as they're just looking to fill two classes before SOC, at which point all hiring will be done through Alaska.

Mainland Commute
Aloha all -
Can anyone elaborate on the way commuting would work for someone living in the Pensacola, FL area in the interim until 2nd year pay? Is it possible to commute on a codeshare through Alaska? Or would it be prudent to select CVG as a domicile in the interim?
Excited for the window to be open.
Thanks! Fly safe!
