Email for all 3 phases

I've searched but haven't come up with any Hawaiian retirement numbers per year... anyone have any info they're willing to post?

Wait, are you telling me that first year pay at an airline sucks? What a revelation.

I'm thankful that my first year pay at Southwest is nearly double what it would have been at HAL. Lighten up man.

So it seems that, unless you are a native islander, have mega connections at HAL or have some squadron buddies pulling for you, chances are you won't be getting a call for interview even with times far north of the mins.....

Not trying to be a pessimist here but thats the vibe I get from all the posts I am reading. :(

aside from the native part, isn't that kinda the way it is every where?

No, not in the least. Most places, sure, it gives you a leg up...but it seems like at Hawaiian its all or nothing. It has a reputation

If you're qualified, and understand the cultural sensitivies, cost of living, relative isolation, and other island issues, and are still interested, by all means apply and compete! Be willing to put a lot of work into it, and you'll get an outstanding career out of it!

I'm not a native or a local and had zero connections. Still got invited to the interview AND phase 3. However, my dream in life is to settle down in Hawaii and I made that clear during the interview. As far as getting hired who knows what would've happened if I would've been able to make it to that last phase... If you're qualified, you never know.

They hired a Usair pilot 4 years ago. He quit within the first month after finding out he would not be captain within a year. Guys like him don't help the mainlanders get hired.
Its a good gig with a good retirement plan, a lot of growth in the future. Management is still management, but they do seem to know what they are doing. It is not for everyone and I would not recommend commuting since it is so far from even the west coast.
