P.S. I love the Christmas Card divider!! :))

michael!!!

Wish I knew the secret password... No one in my class knew exactly what It took to get in...... We were all just happy we did....

Put it this way... Our most junior trip is basically a 3 day Sacremento, where you report around 1pm day one, and return around 11:30 am day 3.... 2 legs and a day to screw around in downtown SMF.. It's all good at HA...:D

Thanks for passing the info along about the vacancies. Any clue when the next window might open up to fill out an app? Any idea how many people are in the pool?

They interviewed a lot last year.... My guess would be for them to pick from that vs. ramping up interviewing for just 14 new hires..... I'm sure they have a ton of people to pick from for this year... I haven't heard of any future windows opening for this years hiring.

And they don't have a pool per se... Everyone that interviewed is technically in the "pool"... Ranked on a scoring scale...they take from the top of that list until the hiring needs are met... At least that's the way I've heard it typically operates, and was my experience with the process.

Has Hawaiian disseminated any 117 info to the pilots? Just wondering if they are going to have to hire additional pilots for coverage.. Do you guys feel like the airline is over/under staffed?

I know you guys have 3 more A330 coming in short order, has the company said anything about the gov't shutdown affecting deliveries?

Thanks for the info, hoping to see new hire classes start soon!

Any word on Phase 3 invites??

I heard that phase 3 are going on today. Any word on how many guys?

Meanwhile on the 330 there's Taipei, 10 hours in the air and departing at 1AM, or the "midnight madness" Vegas 1:55am departure, and lets not forget the famous LAX turns where the FO operates both legs (and usually doesn't get either landing) while captains take turns in the back! :rolleyes:

But compared to what I did before, it's still good! In ACMI freight, the typical trip was back side of the clock and 18+ hour days...

Just didn't want to leave people with the impression that we don't have our share of back side of the clock flying here... Koolaid is good, but only in moderation.

...ya that's safe
