Very relaxed and casual conversations. Same experience as all recent trip reports. - tell me about yourself - why Hawaiian and not another major - tell me about the best pilot and the worst pilot I have flown with - how have I used CRM to resolve and issue with a crew member in flight - tell me about your volunteer experience - if I could fly any aircraft for one day, what would it...

Like most people on here stated the interview is broken down into 3 parts. There is a pilot panel, managerial panel, and a CRM exercise. The pilot panel consisted of 3 pilots (2CA/1FO) all from different equipment. They were all cool and relaxed about the whole thing. They ask you several TMAAT questions mainly about flight experiences. The Managerial Panel was one Hawaiian guy and one Alaska guy. There questions were centered more around getting to know you and the reasons you want to...

Give yourself plenty of time and arrive early because the location of the front door can be hard to find! Especially if there's no more parking available. They will send you directions with photos so have those ready. Two groups per day, 4 in each group. I was in the 11 AM. Candidates were by far the nicest dressed in suits and ties, interview panel all wore Hawaiian shirts. Escorted to a "holding area" where we could leave our bags and met the early group, then all went to the cafeteria for...

The help here from previous posts have been pretty spot-on. The day started with introductions with an HR rep, and another applicant. We went through our CRM portion (paired with another applicant), then pilot panel (solo), then management panel (solo). The day ended with an entire group of applicants having lunch together. CRM portion was a scenario in which I had to work through a situation with my partner (one of us is CA, the other is an FO). They wanted to see our thought process,...

Same trip report as others have posted before, overall a great, friendly experience from start to finish. Felt more like a dialogue than an interview, they seemed to genuinely care about what brought you there and the questions were more geared at getting to know your heart and how you would be as a co-worker vice just your quals. I'll add more at the end, but unfortunately this will be a useless trip report for those following, as they are changing their hiring process when the combined...

Everything that has been posted in this forum is pretty true to the process that you’ll experience on the day of the interview. The pilot panel focuses on the TMATW….and the Management panel is focused on your flying experience. I will say that if there are any abnormalities on your resume with respect to aviation, be prepared to provide a very solid reason why. If you didn’t fly for a period of time you need to have a reason that makes sense, things like that. The CRM...

Hawaiian is really trying to get to know you. All previous experiences shared were in line with what I went through, CRM, Pilot Panel, Management Panel. Asked you why Hawaiian airlines? Pretty low threat questions from the pilot panel, they were very friendly and welcoming, did a great job putting you at ease and asked a few TMAAT questions about crew members, conflict, and CRM. Management Panel wanted to get to know you, history, inspiration for flying, checkride failures. Overall a great...

A very straightforward and friendly interview. There are three sections HR, pilot panel, & CRM. The HR guys were friendly and specific. After "tell me about yourself" they asked a lot of questions about my background. How have I enjoyed my time at my current carrier and what has been the most challenging part of my career. They asked about a move to Hawaii and fitting the "Hawaiian culture." They openly favor people who live there or are willing to move. The pilot...

Real laid back experience. 3 part process, panel, manager and CRM. Simple questions about flight experience, such as “tell me about a time you used CRM to overcome a situation” or “tell me about a decision you’ve regretted in the flight deck” “who was the best and worst crew member you had to work with and why”. The manager interview wanted to know more of “why you want to work for Hawaiian airlines?” “What does Hawaiian airlines...

I had the morning session and the interview started with a CRM portion with an emergency aircraft going into HNL so ATC tells you to hold. Keeping in mind your fuel numbers, alternate airports, time route, 2in 2out, then you decide if you want to continue holding or divert to another airport. They just want to see how you work through the problem, no so much your final decision. Then you go into a pilot panel interview. They ask the typical TMAAT questions. Then there’s a management...
