I thought that reserve squadron was getting ready to shut down?

Nope. I hear from my contacts in Dallas they're getting a pair of C-40s.

Do they fly anything else than c-40s?

What is life like for junior pilots at Hawaiian?
Hold a line, sit reserve only, fly nights, inter-island, etc?

Thanks for any insight

Anyone know a good contact for follow up after submitting an app to Aloha Air Cargo? Is John M. from Maui still the chief pilot?

I read today that Hawaiian will be launcing daily service to NY in June of 2012.

That is Looooooong range Navy plan. VR48 in DC (VR51's sister squadron flying G4's) is being shut down actually adding another plane to VR-51's inventory. Kaneohe squadron is actually growing and already undermanned for pilots.

Any word when the next round of hiring will kick off?

Thread bump. Sorry if someone covered this, I searched.
How is the PEK route doing? Is this primarily a cargo cash cow?

I haven't heard of any numbers, but I did a really quick ( and by that I mean I just checked a few loads at random) starting in June, the days that I looked up had pretty high loads like in the mid 200's..

The loads I checked over the first few weeks seemed to be in the mid 100's.. So definitely saw an uptick as this summer starts up...

By no means a scientific study, but it did look like pretty healthy loads on the days I checked..

According to the company, the start-up was showing good promise ..

Hopefully it'll open up more China destinations in the near future..

The 1st quarter SEC filing shows a net gain of 2 aircraft this year, and also 2 net next year..if I remember, somewhere in the 49 a/c range by the end of 2015.. And then the NEO's should start arriving shortly thereafter.
