Hawaiian, southwest, delta, American, United and Alaska guys
It's a contractual thing here. They could have picked any time point in the process, but went with aircraft movement. It's the same for the 767 and 717 too, not just fifi. HAL -

At HA, unfortunately, it's tied to aircraft movement at push back. HAL -
Delta lands on taxiway at SEA
Close, but it's actually Barbara Bush. :-D HAL -

HAL neos in 2018?
Original delivery date for the first 321NEO was right at the end of Q3 2017 (end of Sept). A few months slippage is pretty normal for these things. There is always the possibility of finding a leasing company with earlier slots and getting a couple that way too. And even in 2017 the best we were... -

KCM Policy
Uniform, no. KCM, yes. Airline IDs are easy to duplicate. Getting through KCM with a fake ID, just about impossible. That's why it was set up in the first place - to give us all a much more secure way to verify ID. So going through KCM in uniform or not = secure. Going through pax screening in... -

Anyone write an aviation book?
Or, I could try it this way... ;) Hey guys, I just read a really good book - and thought you all might be interested: http://www.amazon.com/Pouakai-David-Sperry/dp/0992365481/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417587577&sr=1-1&keywords=the+pouakai HAL -
Anyone write an aviation book?
I thought about it, but we're not supposed to post any personal advertisements on FI. HAL -
Anyone write an aviation book?
In answer to some questions, yes, my novel is out, and available online and in a few bookstores. PM me if you would like the details. HAL -

Company paid parking?
HA pays $25 a month towards the $30/month parking at HNL. There's nothing else for commuters, so we end up paying full fare at our home airports. HAL -
FAA Age 60 rule rescinded
DCAA320, the interpretation from the FAA is that the 'made available' language is directed towards the airline, so they will staff the flights accordingly, and have procedures in place to allow the rest to occur. For the pilots it doesn't mean 'take it if you want to'. It means 'you will take... -
FAA Age 60 rule rescinded
If you're done after a 5.5 leg, then no he doesn't. However, since you were an IRO, something tells me you had more flying to do after that leg. So yes, he did require a 2 hour break in the last half of the duty period before his landing. HAL -
HA - Latest System Bid
When did it become the pilot's job to tell the airline when to schedule its flights? Again, this isn't me being in favor of the management's side, but rather dealing with reality. Is the company purposely scheduling the flights like this to mess with the pilot's lifestyles? Or are they... -
HA - Latest System Bid
Being here for a while doesn't make me senior in my position. For me, I have to bid reduced days off to get a line because I'm relatively junior as an Airbus Captain. I can't get longhaul flying when I bid, even though I try, because I'm too junior. LAS, LAX, SEA, and maybe SFO are the only... -

HA - Latest System Bid
I certainly understand your points, and I have never suggested it was a zero-sum affair. We deserve (and will get) a good bump in pay and work rules this time. If not, I'm ready to walk the line too. My comments were to a specific subject - the daily minimum pay. I've been through a lot of... -
HA - Latest System Bid
Wave, the difference between SWA and HA's schedules is huge. At SWA, with one type of plane, thousands of flights to mix & match, and all flying of a similar length, the computers can put together pairings (or lines) that maximize efficiency. At HA however there are 3-day LAX trips for 11 hours... -
HA - Latest System Bid
General, on average, how many actual hours flight time is there on three-day trips at DL? If it is something close to 15:45, then the company has done a good job putting together schedules. The problem for us is that most of the three-day trips to the west coast are in the 11 to 12 hour range... -
HA - Latest System Bid
You and I have discussed this before, but for the others... Just remember the differences you get when you work for a small airline. We have far fewer trips to work with in order to get a good line. It's not like a huge mega-carrier where scheduling can manipulate the trips to get a difference... -
HA - Latest System Bid
It's was a bunch of noise signifying nothing: The new vacancy bid is out, and it still has new-hires on it (14 instead of 19), and no furloughs. It's just the usual hyper-attention to staffing levels. HAL -
