I suspect all these guys who have been flying heavies on international routes will be pretty unhappy if they get hired and put on the 717 and stuck there for the 2 year seat lock.
Home every night is great if you live in HNL, not so much if you commute. and your per diem is taxed because of no RONs.
That is why HAL likes people who live in HI. They have had pilots quit ground school in the past when they got awarded the 717.
From what I hear the pilots on the 330 are not bidding off it to the NEOS. So most likely the most new hire slots will be on the 717 until lots of NEOs show up.

717 and 330
I hear guys saying new hires going straight to 717. Home every night, less money but definitely suits somebody who lives in HNL.
A HAL pilot I know seems to think differently. He is on 330 and says he thinks all the new hires will still go 330. Apparently 717 guys dont want to give up not being home every night. Cant blame them if it is true.
320NEO expected last qtr of 2017, 1st qtr 2018. Anybody got any relevant info on that.
Also once the NEO's arrive will the 330 and 320 pilots be flying both types due to cockpit commonality. I know Air Berlin does that in Europe to keep their pilots fresh on domestic and international routes.

Would you mind sharing your background? Did you start with stand by email as well?
