There is a phase three for Tue Nov 27.

I've never heard of them doing groups of phase I/II and III all on the same day...Based on what some of you are saying that's the case today? Hmmm.

Yes I believe so, don't know how many are doing Phase III this week. I'm not aware of any others from my interview class being invited to Phase III as of yet. I know for myself and many others, there isn't anywhere we'd rather be than Hawaiian. Our class was one solid bunch of folks and I hope for the best for us all, as well as everyone following this thread.

It will be interesting to hear what they are told this week about future class dates. For the last few weeks everyone seemed to think no classes til Jan, but now they are doing Phase llls this week.
Past pattern would say there will be a Dec class.

HAL Interview Info - From a Guy I know that went back in August

PHASE I


When you get there you give your stuff to the receptionist so she can make copies and she gives you an event report and mock summary of a problem to fill out while you wait. My problem was a PAX moved to first class cabin, and then told the FA off when she asks him to leave.

Know Zulu Time Conversions. They have the mock report in the panel interview. I was asked no questions from the mock report.



Half hour later you go into the Board interview and Meet with 2 Captains (1 retired and 1 line), a Flight Attendant, and a Dispatcher rep.



Only TMAT questions, and NO TECHNICAL QUES. Only to get to know you. Lasted about 20 minutes. They look at your resume and ask questions based on your experience.

Tell us about your flying career? How did you get your start in flying?

Will you move to Hawaii if hired?

Have you applied to HA in the past? Why not?

Will you apply to other Hawaiian carriers if not hired by us?

What's your greatest accomplishment?

Have u ever gone over and beyond the call of duty?

What set's you apart from the other 2,000 applicants? Why should we hire you?

Ever had a flight where you would have done something different?

Do you visit HI often?

What is the most difficult crew you have had to work with?

Any chance of upgrading at your current company (in my case recall)?

What do you know about Hawaiian?

Who else have you applied to? If you are offered a job by HAL and another company, which would you take? Why?


Sim ride is in a Elite Computer based trainer (MD 80) with yoke and single throttle. You get briefed on the appch plate. FO does all config changes and bugs HDG, SPD and ALT.

Takeoff LAS 25L, Runway heading to 8,000 Left turn to 180. Then back to back 180 degree steep turns. Cleared Direct Bolder City and hold as published (direct entry). Radar vectors ILS 25L into LAS.



Chief pilot meet and greet – Met with ACP (Keith), 767 Fleet Manager & some guy named Bob. They have everyone introduce themselves, tell where you flew in from and what your currently doing. They claim this part of the interview is not scored. They seem to get boners over questions. So think of something to ask these guys



PHASE TWO

Physiological Test

50 Question Wonderlic Test you have 12 min. Google wonderlic test sample questions and you will have an idea of what’s on the test.

27 Question Math Test, You have 35 min. This test is BS. It’s all train X travels from point A to point F, the clock hand moves from position E to position Z, if the train slows its speed 1/3 what position will the clocks hand be on?

190 Question Guilford-Zimmerman Personality Test, not timed. Answer choices are Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree.


Group Interview – HR Lady (JP) and a Retired 767 CA

You’re brought into a room with chairs set in a semi circle, you’re told to alphabetize according to last name. They have you introduce the person sitting next to you to the group (you have 5 min to get to know each other). Then they pass a hat around the room with questions in it. Everyone picks a question then reads it aloud and gives there answer to the group.

Harry Potter Hat Questions:

What does customer service mean to you?

What is the most difficult change you have had to deal with in your life? And how did you deal with it?

What constitutes team work?

What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?

What makes a good CA? What makes a good FO?

Go over HAL mission Statement, what stands out to you, HALs Core Values. They are big on the Spirit of Aloha. The pilots on the panel interview and Sim were cool, everyone else has had to much Hawaiian sunshine blown up there asses.

You will probable leave the interview not wanting to work at this place. If you want to get hired, act the part. Tell them what they want to hear. HR controls hiring - I feel bad for the pilots that have to deal with some of the new hires. Several guys were on the 2nd and 3rd interview.

There will be a class dec 27... Those in it I think had already done phase 3 back in oct... Phase 3 happening now will most likely be for a jan class... Best of luck!

cloud,
Thanks for the detailed report...very helpful. What do you mean by this?

Read the 1st line - a guy that I use to work with sent this. I could only guess.

I heard there could be up to 35-40 more new hires for this application window.(The June window).. Then hopefully they'll open another app. window late Spring for the rumored 80 or so needed for 2013/2014


Keep 'em coming

Not sure if it's the same person that you're referring to or not, but the one "new hire" that I've heard of (through the grapevine) that resigned in Oct was already typed on & had time in the B767 when hired @ HA. Apparently FedEx called and the simple math of overall career progression/expectation/compensation made the decision a numbers game.

A quick glance @ airlinepilotcentral.com's at rates may be an eye opener. I don't have hard numbers, but I could only guess how many 30-ish 1st year FOs on 1st year pay @ HA would pass on chance @ FedEx.
