I considered them back in the 90s. They didn't consider me however.

Not sure if it's still accurate, but they used to show preference to pilots who had ties to the islands. Presumably this to aid in retention.

Now short haul (like 53 aircraft being small) is subjective. To a 777LR guy, what they fly may be short haul, but they do fly some relatively long legs, China, Oz, NZ, mainland US from HNL. The inter island stuff way back when used to be somewhat senior, no clue these days.

Good luck
