While on vacation in Hawaii recently, I met a guy who told me he's a pilot at Hawaiian and that he could connect me to his relative who works in HR. Awesome, but then he mentioned something that struck me as odd.. said he flies on two different planes. The 717 and the airbus I think. I could be wrong but I've never heard of an airline that allows you to fly on two different planes at the same time. At my regional you dequal on your current aircraft the day you start training for a different plane. The closest thing I know of is dual qual for crj 200/700 or common type like 757/767. I would love to take advantage of his offer but honestly I'm curious if he is legit. Seemed like a cool guy, but people do lie about all kinds of weird stuff. Why, I have no idea. Can Hawaiian pilots elaborate if this indeed is the practice there?

 

That sounds strange.

 

Its been dead for a few days... anyone hear anything recently?

 

You only fly one type at Hal.

 

Someone lied to you. You can bid for another airplane but never two at the same time. I'd be concerned of safety issues.

More now for interisland schedule increase.

 

three more 717's.....sounds good, keep hiring.!!

 

I heard a rumor today that the Phase II testing at HA is getting re-evaluated because the psychologist that they hire to administer the MMPI Psych Test and the Wunderlic Exam is not licensed to do so, and is getting sued by HAL ALPA and at least one interviewee. Apparently the psychologist got a lot of business from HA due to his personal friendship with the HR director.

Anyone else heard anything about this?

 

LOL!!! Well, this could get out of hand. If this person IS found guilty, then EVERYONE hired or denied could/should be re-interviewed...
(playing devil's advocate here).

 

what's the latest? any interviews?
