I would definitely go with full on suit... You can always lose the tie etc if they say so... although it is Hawaii, they still dress like professionals in most business settings:D

Good luck, wish I was in your spot. A bit discouraged after not hearing anything with everyone else right away...

Does HAL provide a positive space ticket to HNL and hotel etc for the interviews?

No, no

it's all on you, two days, and "suit up".

Congrads and good luck.
Definitely wear a suit and be professional.
Plus you will be able to ID all the other interviewees :-)
they will be the other people wearing suits.

Did you send in an update during the window that opened up on May25th?

Yea I updated my times a few days after the window opened.

If you can, ask how many are in the current pool.
If you meet any ex-AQ pilots tell them I said Hi.

anyone else get an interview this week?
or any kind of email response?

Sorry if I'm the "slow one in class" here, but I'm confused about some of the information in this post and was hoping for some clarity...

I can't recall if the 'flight hour section' was part of the separate email that everyone is referring to. Was the flight hour section on there along with 'your favorite airplane' and 'why Hawaiian Airlines' questions? Or was this a completely different email that I would have received?

Here's how it went for me:

Step 1) Created the profile when I "applied to" the First Officer Position (my first attempt with Hawaiian). This section included past jobs, residence history, education, drug and alcohol questions, criminal background

Step 2)A day later received an E-mail from Hawaiian that my application was not complete and they provided a link. Specifically said to use the link AND NOT to "edit profile"...

Step 3) filled out the information the link sent me to.. Which was Flight times, why you want to work here, favorite airplane?


That was the last I heard from them. They don't send any confirmation e-mail that your completed app was received. There was a guy on here that said he received a "thanks for applying but you will not be considered at this time" almost immediately after applying but I think he was short one of the minimums.

when you look at your application status it will still show the original date you applied, NOT the date you sent in the Flight Time Grid.... This is what really had me confused and worried about whether or not they received my completed application.

As far as I know that is all there is for the app. Main section and then the typical pilot stuff.

Nothing. friend of mine asked if I had heard anything because he knew calls (e-mails) were going out... Nothing yet here. Nobody I know has heard back yet either (all locals with most having interviewed before)
