There is nothing official on how they'll hire the next group yet.. only rumor, which is "a new app window".

Rumored to be last month. Obviously not. On a positive note, they're selecting pilots to conduct interviews. Not sure what time line that puts a new window on, but seems promising.

Thanks. My wife and I are in Kailua for a week or so visiting friends. I thought about dropping in with a copy of my paper resume, mostly to let the good people at Hawaiian know that I am still interested in the job.

Anyone on here that is a Hawaiian pilot that can give my wife and I some incite?

I'm curious how difficult the schedules are to commute inter-island? My wife has a very good opportunity to work on the big island and use her masters degree in history. She also enjoys the big island the most, so it's a real win-win for her. I understand the airbus and 767 would be commutable, but how are the schedules on the 717?

Thanks.

There are a few guys commuting inter-island and a few more from the mainland and making it work... all of them are a bit more senior in their seat tho.. but for a multitude of reasons, inter-island is ideal for Oahu residence... Once you make some seniority however, it's all good... 16-18 days off and bid your work days in blocks of 4-5.. Sadly, at HAL, seniority doen't happen very fast..

Thanks for the info. Can you trip trade, swap, or drop trips to enhance your schedule each month?

Trip trading/dropping is not easy right now, can't rely on it to make your schedule work. You will need some kind of crashpad on Oahu if you live on the Big Island and are junior interisland. The earliest flights leave Honolulu around 5 am and the last flights arrive after 11 pm. You could try Aloha freighters to travel outside those times. but I'm not sure how reliable that would be. Most of the widebody trips leave between noon and five and arrive around the same time making commuting easier.
