even upper management has admitted that they have to do something to attract pilots. The rumor mill has been saying first year pay is going up for a few months now, but there hasn’t been an announcement yet. Typical dragging of their feet.

Yep, and in my opinion they’ll have to do a lot more than that. Money is great but when you can get that at any other major why come to a company with a single domicile. Might have to open a mainland base.

The single base rationale is one that Hawaiian management has enjoyed for a long time - due to a single base they do not pay for initial training travel or hotels, recurrent travel and hotels, per diem, and all that stuff that comes from out of domicile training or layovers.
Any time you are in Honolulu, you are cheap
labor - far lower cost than any other airline in the ISA.
Opening a mainland base is a significant increase in cost to the bean counters.

You are absolutely right but when you have an app window open looking to hire 110 and you get 100 apps you need to get creative. Quality of life is big and not everyone wants to live here. Not saying this is the only way to attract pilots but it would be impactful on the recruiting process.

There was a Seattle 767 base and an LA base for flight attendants.
Rumors of a Bay area NEO base have been around for awhile, but we lack the equipment and crews to make it happen.
Management has always put cost savings above all. The IPAD's are the third device that has been tried for the paperless cockpit as opposed to the first. Wi-Fi is still not even on the horizon.
