Ohana to Hawaiian Airlines Agreement
I recently encountered some articles mentioning an agreement between Ohana and Hawaiian Airlines. Has anyone heard about this or can confirm its validity? The agreement supposedly allows Ohana pilots to transition to Hawaiian following a two year contract with Ohana--and, of course, if the pilot is in good standing with the company.
I have posted before in this forum. My husband is a foreign pilot (first officer with EASA license, airbus type-rating, and 2000+ flying hours) trying to enter the aviation business in the US. He currently holds a valid green card. We know that applying directly to the legacies would be almost impossible, considering that he hasn't accrued any 121 TPIC hours. But perhaps this Ohana agreement might be a nice option to lead him towards flying with one of the majors in a few years.
Ohana looks like a regional. Does anyone know if they require 121 TPIC hours? Or would they accept my husband's TPIC hours under his EASA license?
