Interview Experiences From Hawaiian Airlines Pilot Interviews :

  1. 1.  Interview is very straight forward and everybody is very friendly. For the most part they want to make sure that you are coming to Hawaiian because you genuinely want to be here. There are three parts including a management panel, pilot panel, and a CRM exercise. The management panel will ask you about your previous experience as well why you want to be at Hawaiian. Lots general HR questions such as “how have you dealt with conflict”. Pilot panel asks more questions in... Continue reading this interview experience..

  2. 2.  This was my second time interviewing here. It was a very relaxed experience. I was in the 11am group. It started with us meeting the 8am group for lunch. Then the four of us went into the conference room to wait. My first panel was the management interview. The system chief and asst system chief were there. The assistant chief reviewed my logs and certificates. The system chief remembered me from the previous interview a year earlier. They asked me a few basic questions and we talked a bit...

Study Guide Questions for Your Hawaiian Airlines Interview:

  1. 1. (May 08, 2024) What is your dream job, how does Hawaiian fit that mold?
  2. 2. What would you do if you are the pilot monitoring and see a car crossing the runway during an approach ? What if you call for a go around but the captain is unresponsive?
    • If we heard ATC clear the car to cross, then continue. If the car, under ATC control, clears the runway prior to us crossing the threshold, then continue. If the car enters the runway after we've crossed the threshold, or just when we've broken out a minimums and a transferring to visual references, then initiate a go around/missed approach.
  3. 3. Have you ever gone more than 6 months without flying?
    • Yes, the first time was to serve a church mission and the second was to go a different career path.
  4. 4. (May 08, 2024) Tell me about a time you resolved a conflict in the flight deck?
    • Use CRM techniques. Bring someone in between.
  5. 5. TMAAT you used CRM to solve a dispute with a coworker
    • No disputes in the airline industry yet. Told them about a time a student was arguing with me in the plane and how I diffused and corrected the situation.
  6. 6. Have you had any checkride failures and what did you learn from them?
    • Yes I have, but each and everyone of them has been a great learning experience that has formed me into the professional pilot I am today. With out my failures I do not believe I would be as successful as I am today.
  7. 7. Do you have any questions for us?
    • How did you be where you are today? What are your thoughts on the 787 delivery dates? What are common new hire mistakes you have seen/ where do new hires at Hawaiian make mistakes?
  8. 8. When have you used CRM?
    • Anytime on duty.
  9. 9. Why are you applying to Hawaiian?
    • This is a big one, each interview panel asked this
  10. 10. (May 08, 2024) Tell us about your flying career
    • Started out when I was 18, then I quickly got my license thereafter. Then I had to take a break for my church mission. Once I came back, I dove in where I left off. Once I finished all of my ratings, due to personal reasons, I decided the career was not for me, so I went a different direction. But I longed for the skies during that time. 8 years later, I went back to finish everything else and the rest is history.
