Either way, I think there will be atleast a little hiring.....
That's some potentially great news!

I have this feeling though that HAL is one of, if not the toughest, nuts to crack out there in terms of landing a job. Thoughts?

In terms of the actual interviews, it's not that hard... I don't recall any technical questions or anything like that. Compared to what I've heard about other airline interviews, heck even a lot of regionals... Our interview is very laid back..

In terms of getting that final nod, the issue here is nobody seems to know what they are looking for. They interview a ton of people for just a few slots.. I think a lot of guys get their hopes up because they feel they did well at the interview. Only to wait and wait for no call. Our process has been interesting to say the least.. That may be changing.. For the better is anyone's guess.

But no, you don't have to be an astronaut or military fighter pilot with your name on the side of a F18 to get on.

Interviewed twice and that is exactly how I would describe it.

Me too, Ive done it twice and would give my first born for a career there. With the word on the street that the process is being overhauled and the upcoming vacancy bid looking quite small, will they spin up the machine again or pull from the existing pool? Thanks!

Every regional CA and FO I meet either through jumpseat or work says they are holding out for Delta. One guy actually told me that he was varsity in high school and he wasn't going to JV now. He was referring to United and AA. Said he wouldn't even consider Hawaiian. That's how I'm gonna get into HAL. Could there actually be room for everyone at Delta?. I plan on j-seating out to HI LOTS this fall. Peace

Dal/Ual etc. is the right move if they don't want to live in Hawaii or have a long commute. The contracts are also superior at the big legacies imo.
