The other interview experience were spot on. The day started with our interview host (Rich) telling us how the day would go and answered any questions we had. As a note, I felt there was definitely a good cop bad cop thing going on between the pilot panel interview (bad cop) and the management panel interview (good cop). Not criticizing or hating but thats what I observed. Day was as follows... 1 Pilot Panel 2 Management Panel 3 Written Test 4 Sim Eval in Q400 FTD Pilot Panel I was asked many...

  1. Mar 15, 2024 I was in the afternoon group that started at 1100. I was worried about traffic in Oahu so I scheduled the Lyft to pick up from the hotel at 0930...ended up arriving 1 hour early. All good though, just checked in and chilled in the lobby. Had lunch and then was escorted to a staging room where you leave your stuff and give pertinent documents to management. 3 panel interview. I had CRM exercise with one other applicant. Gen fault 20 minutes from ETP. Then APU fault past ETP and WX... Continue reading this interview experience

  2. Feb 22, 2024 There were 4 of us for the afternoon panels. Escorted by Rich who is covering for Analu, he was very friendly. The relaxed culture begins as soon as you walk into the lobby. Other pilots and trainees were happy to meet all of us. Not one person in suits except for me and the 3 other guys. Started with lunch at 11. Mgmt panel was first. They asked why Hawaiian, what’s my background, TMAAT you showed malama (care), asked about a former company on resume. Next up was pilot panel. 3 senior... Continue reading this interview experience

  3. Feb 22, 2024 As said before, gouge is pretty much spot on. All questions I was asked were posted here. Very relaxed environment and they just want to get to know you and talk story. Spent more time chatting and getting to know guys than actually answering questions. Make sure to have some good questions ready to go after each panel. 1. Started with CRM. Didn’t have a sim partner so they just used a current HAL pilot to be my FO. Got the fuel scenario. 1.2 hrs of fuel left 40 miles west of HNL.... Continue reading this interview experience

  4. Feb 08, 2024 Started with CRM and was given CPT OXYGN in amber 20 mins to ETP. No correct answers just walked through with my partner what we would do. At the end the instructor gave us some feedback but was overall pretty vague. Met with 3 line pilots who asked about 5 questions total and then took time answering my questions. Then met with management who asked me about 5 more questions and again took the time to answer my questions. Then we had lunch with all candidates from the day. Overall...

  5. Feb 01, 2024 Interview was three parts; management panel, pilot panel, and CRM exercise. Leave plenty of time to find the proper parking area when arriving at headquarters. Detailed directions with pictures were provided prior to the interview, but I suggest driving there a few days prior to brief yourself and have a smooth commute come interview day. No curveballs for the interview but they certainly valued 121 experience in complex flying environments (as stated on the job listing) and candidates with...

  6. Jan 19, 2024 Interview was similiar to previous posts, very laid back, friendly experience. The communication process from HA is great, they make sure your airline and hotel accomodations are made in a timely manner. This is an interview, but it feels like your already an employee there., (view the Sim/Scenario section in the study guide of this website).  Debrief what you could have done better as a crew and file ASAP reports. Had a 3 panel TMT with management- CP, ACP, Boeing fleet specialists.... Continue reading this interview experience

  7. Jan 18, 2024 Just like the other candidates who posted. They are just trying to get to know you. Super comfortable experience, had 1 pilot on the pilot panel who was definitely trying to be the bad cop. Took exactly 8 days since interview to get a notification. Received a voicemail notification after a long flight, tried calling back but the office was closed early for Friday. Checked my email and was sent the... Continue reading this interview experience

  8. Jan 18, 2024 Very laid-back interview. Great experience. Lots of discussion about Alaska merger and the future of Hawaiian. The interview consists of lunch with the other interviewees, a pilot panel, a management panel, and a CRM scenario exercise/discussion. Received email inviting me to interview about 3 weeks after submitting application. Interviewed one month later. Got the CJO 8 days after the interview. Nearly all of the questions were on this website. One new question was: "You're at... Continue reading this interview experience

  9. Jan 11, 2024 Showed up at the lobby early and met my interview partner outside. It is a good opportunity to get to know one another, you will be going through this process at the same time. Also remember that you will be doing a CRM exercise together. Analu showed up to escort us in right on time. Like everyone in the building, he was very friendly and made as relaxed as he could. You will be taken to a holding room, where you will be briefed about the process, hand over logbooks, licence, medical, and... Continue reading this interview experience

  10. Dec 07, 2023 Allow some extra time for figuring out where to go and park and how to find their headquarters. Got into the lobby and was with 1 other interviewee. I was a regional FO with ~700 hours, and the other was a very high-time G650ER Captain. They brought us to a conference room and did some brief introductions. First, was the CRM exercise, where we had a scenario with HNL closed and we were about 30 minutes out with 1 hr and 30 mins of fuel. Next up was the pilot panel. Three line pilots, two...

    I liked being able to go way back, in order to see trends in the questions asked.
