Spoke with WP at FAPA yesterday-
2 Qs flying. 3rd in April. A 4th in May or possibly in March (before the 3rd?). Goal is to replace remaining ATRs by the end of the year if not sooner.
I was told the company is targeting to expand the pilot group to 90 (currently around 50) by the end of this year. Hiring into Q only.
Frequencies will nearly double by this May- just announced yesterday.
Day trips- Am/PM starts. Home every night. 6 leg days. Maybe more with increased frequency...
Open time paid at 150%
$5k relocation package plus coach ticket to HNL for employee and spouse/dependents. $12k bonus paid over 18 months.

Was born in Wailuku. Island life is slow. I don't think I'd want to live there again, not my cup of tea. Nice place to vacation.
The racism also sucked, though that was in Kona. Might be better in Honolulu, I don't know, didn't spend much time there.

Are people getting hired at HAL from island air without prior jet time? Would love to come fly at Island Air with the goal being HAL down the line. I have heard that HAL prefers jet time on the mainland w/ weather experience, so some choose to fly at a regional on the mainland before trying to get on with Hawaiian. Any thoughts?
