Hello Adam. I applied to HAL some time ago. How likely am I to be considered without having ties to the islands? I’m from Europe and got green card due to recent changes in law that allow pilots to apply for a small fee. I’m in my 30s with a couple thousand hours on 737 and a couple thousand on 787 with experience of medical flights, African bush and military. Haven’t heard back from HAL.
Honestly I’m surprised you haven’t yet. My questions are do you have your FAA ATP and where was your flight time built as that might be the only hang up I can think of.
That sir is why (I suspect) you haven’t gotten a call. If you visit the HAL FO recruiting page (Careers: First Officer | Hawaiian Airlines) it clearly states your must have an ATP. Further they really like mainland turbine experience.
If your goal is to fly for Hawaiian it may mean flying for a year or 2 at a Regional.
Not to be difficult here, but I just looked at Hawaiian’s webpage and the first requirement is to have a FAA ATP, it is written as clearly as day. You will never get a call in your current position as you do not meet their qualifications. As a pilot, you should know that it is necessary to fully and completely read the entire checklist.
Long time lurker here. Got a CJO with HAL recently and would love to see what your schedules have been like recently. Care to share? Been a minute and always looked forward to seeing what you put out, especially now as my dream becomes a reality.
Keep in mind I’m a fairly senior 717 Capt so my schedule is pretty straightforward at this point. I basically fly the same trip the entire month which is 5 legs:
HNL-OGG-HNL-KOA-OGG-HNL
My day starts at 0515, ends at 1130, and I work 17 days with 13 off. If I bid longer days I could get more days off but I’m lazy and like being home for lunch everyday
The really good news is 717 pilots are upgrading in under a year and there’s so much movement your schedule will improve pretty rapidly if you go InterIsland. Of course there’s also the opportunity to go widebody Day 1 which is pretty nice also (but you have to wear a tie!).
