Oh... and yes, the grass IS greener on the other side.

This business about people scamming Hawaiian for an interview just for a mini vacation as the reason they're not paying for travel is a bit of a stretch. It's challenging enough to get them to call you, so they're obviously not calling every Tom, Dick and Harry.
It is indeed their prerogative to not provide travel to and from, but I doubt that this why.

Seriously think about it though, how many more applications would Hawaiian get if they offered people stby tickets and a hotel to stay in for two days?!?! I know a few people off hand that would apply even though they would have no intention of accepting the job if they were offered one.
The cost of living is very high and commuting is practically non-existent for the first few years. So you can see why Hawaiian is being very selective and only want to choose from a group that are really dedicated on flying for them and worth spending the thousands of dollars for training costs.

I never thought about the travel or hotel when I applied to Hawaiian; I have a good friend there and knew he was very happy and that was enough for me.
