While not an easy commute for a junior II pilot, if you really want to work here, it's a sacrifice some can easily make for 2 years.

sadly there is probably a lot of truth to this... sure the token random applicant gets thru the process on occasion but it's almost always captain's sons/daughters, southrampers with an auntie or uncle there, or some kind of kronie deal like that...

Think about it. The window closed the 21th of Sept and a class already started. Why open the window, it's because they had too not that they needed to. It makes them look like they really are looking for you but the smoke and mirrors game has already begun.

4 new hires started sept 25th. B717. They interviewed end of 2012. Phase 3 was end of August. 2 island air, 1 horizon, 1 frontier.
Now there's talk of only 10 more new hires instead of the 14. Changes daily. It's supposed to be a new hiring format. We shall see. 2 more classes this year. Of course, that changes daily!

The pool is a joke. My friend was in the so called pool that officially isn't a pool. Then was sent an email he wasn't eligible for the previous pool , but to apply for the current opening that just closed. Which he already did. What a hiring practice. No wonder the word on the street is HA hiring is all about what or who you know.

Most pilots who commute to HAL either:
-used to be based in SEA/SFO/LAX with HAL and had a reasonable expectation to believe those bases would remain open.
Or
-were hired between '08-'12 when HAL was pretty much the only airline in the country hiring and a commute was worth getting out of the regionals.
Equipment and seat-locks aside, obviously commuting to Hawaiian is possible. My point is - with most majors hiring, why would you want to indefinitely commute 5+ hours to an airline with only a single base in a place you don't want to be?
