Yea same with me for the same reason... Might be a decent option for someone already living in the islands looking..

Don't count on Ohana opening the door to Hawaiian. Not sure if it would help or not, just saying don't expect any carry over.

Might help you for networkings sake.... But I wouldn't want to be stuck there making 46k.....

Back to my question of does anyone know the HR person we can address a cover letter to?

Check out this page, not a specific name for HR but it does have a lot of useful info. I know for some of my other cover letters this is where I found the right name for chief pilots and personnel managers. Good luck!

Hawaiian Airlines - PILOT CAREER CENTER

Did a relatively short call to AUK recently which was a bit of a fiasco due to 117, but nevertheless legal (surprisingly) considering it resulted in a 18 hour duty day. Otherwise no major issues that I heard. We were way way way more prepared than a lot of other airlines like Allegiant and Spirit.

The 36 is supposedly only due to 117' we also have a few retirements so who knows what the total will be..

As for flex, not sure tbh, I'm a reserve bidder for ease of commuting at my juniority so I don't pay much attention to bid lines.

Thanks,

Yeah I vowed to always bid reserve in Decembers to not miss Christmas with the kids. Unfortunately didn't see the flex coming and being forced back on reserve.... Which is not a bad thing. For me it's like getting paid to be at home 25 days a month or so.... Just not as good on the bank account.

Any news on the vacancy bid that was due in Jan?

apparently delayed.... no news on our end.

Thanks for the reply!! Hopefully no news is good news.

I think they're still backed up on training... seems these latest new A330 FO's have been in training 3 months now.
