Hopefully when my referral(s) walk in my stuff it becomes a moot point
Gonna be a long 2 weeks for the window to close and even longer waiting for a call if it comes..
BTW do they call or e-mail interview requests?

Never got a call back from them...I wonder why?

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.

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!

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.
