It will get fixed, I'm sure of it. Too many people coming here from other airlines now so the days of 'insulated expectations' are gone. Management is just playing out of a very old playbook, and will understand how out-of-date they are very shortly. Expect a scramble from them either during or just after the early June negotiations.
HAL
HAL
HAL management is still trying to dilute the pilot group with young, relatively inexperienced new hires, that will not rock the boat. Hopefully it's too little too late. ( no offense to the newhires here, but for the most part, every more tenured Hawaiian pilot knows atleast multiple applicants with more experience that are NOT getting a call or even an interview)

I'm qualified and have an interview this summer, and I can tell you I won't accept the job if it's still $30/hr. And yes HA has been my #1 for years

It's more like $36. Don't spend it all at once.
Look at the bright side though. You get to live in Hawaii and it's only twice as expensive to live here as compared the "average" cost of one of our peers hubs. Oh... And it's just soooo commutable.

Don't show your hand too early, buddy, you can only hurt yourself. After HAL signs their new contract I'm sure the second-year pay will make you forget the first very quickly. Wish I was still young enough to enjoy non-bankruptcy era contracts!

If nothing else works out Hawaiian is the place for you. The way we treat our new hire candidates says it all about how we value employees especially pilots. Not a bad place to start a career, but move on to a real airline as quickly as possible.

7 Years, sounds ok, but you can do much better some where else. Personally, at the rate we are going we're not going to be around very long. Our financial success has taught us nothing. We operate with the mentality we did as a little inter island operator of 30 years ago.

Here's an answer to that Cost of Living Question.

For the sixth year in a row, Hawaii was rated the worst state for making a living in a new report from MoneyRates.com.
The website's analysis blamed Hawaii's high cost of living — at 68.6 percent above the national norm — and state tax burden, which is one of the highest.

The top five states were listed as Wyoming, Washington, Virginia, North Dakota and Texas. At the opposite end of the scale, Hawaii was followed by Oregon, West Virginia, Maine and California.
"If you have already made your fortune, then by all means go to Hawaii and enjoy its warm climate and spectacular natural beauty," the report says. "However, if you are just trying to make a living, the biggest problem you'll run into is the cost of living. "
At 68.6 percent above the national norm, Hawaii's cost of living is the highest of any state. Zillow reports that, as of March 31, the median home value in Hawaii is $556,200, nearly three times higher than No. 1 Wyoming's median home value of $193,300.
Hawaii's state tax burden is the third-highest.
