I hope ya'll don't get the Hat Party....HR appears to still have the Upper Hand at Pilot Selection. As for the mins? The connections are more important than skill, per say. BTW Didn't HA ALPA send out a memo asking the older guys to look out for the newer ones? Some never flew outside the Islands before....

Met a fairly senior HA captain in Maui a month or so ago going through security and he made a comment that there were a lot of rumors going around about an Alaska/Hawaiian merger/aquisition. I really don't see this being in the AK business model of a single fleet and moving/growing at a snails pace and sticking to a conservative mindset. It does make a little sense to try to control seats to/from the islands if LUV starts service anytime soon. Thoughts, comments, smart remarks welcome

Could you please elaborate? Does this mean an additional 14 new-hires or are they opening a Maui base of 14 pilots?

Any idea if/when they will have the next new-hire class for the additional aircraft deliveries later this year?

Thanks.

Adding 2 'Bus captains. Losing 2 76 captains, 7 more 76 f/o's.
Adding 3 captain's & 4 f/o's on the 717. No Maui base, just more flying through there. No word on when hiring/classes run again.

I have a $50 bet with about a dozen guys that this will happen...

Alaska seems to be filling their seats on their own. I don't see Hawaiian adding much to that.

Just curious if anyone at Hawaiian has heard ANYthing about a possible merge / buyout by DL? Seems pretty far fetched to me...then again, maybe that's why I'm slinging gear rather than running the show

Recent hiring rumors at HA?

Thanks!
