Does anyone live on a neighbor island? How has the "commute" been, both with starting or ending a trip? Are the timetables usually reasonable enough that you have time to get home? If partway through a trip you end up back in HNL, do you snag a hotel/crashpad/jump home?

I’m assuming most civilian applicants are picked up from mainland regionals? I ask as I’m a mid 30s career changer working up to 1500 and my wife has an opportunity to take a job in Hawaii. HAL has been the goal for me since starting the change but I’d hate to move over “too early” and not be able to gain the experience necessary to get my app looked at. Then on the other hand see it as good for networking if living there, especially since she has this job opportunity now… any advice would be great.
Mahalo!

if your wife is moving to Hawaii already you might try Aloha air cargo, that way you can get valuable flight time and live here. I think we’ve hired about 20-30% of their pilot group in the last year or so. Not sure what time the mins are tho but just an idea

Going to the regionals allows for more options down the road, in the event Hawaiian stops hiring. From what I've heard and seen, the 1 year regional experience with 2000 hrs total is a likely ticket to an interview with Hawaiian.
