As the Alaska-Hawaiian merger continues to move forward, the Alaska and Hawaiian pilot groups will now be communicating with one unified voice across social media channels to reflect our increasing collaboration.

We invite all our current followers to follow our new joint page Alaska-Hawaiian Pilots for the latest updates from your Alaska-Hawaiian pilots.

Mahalo to everyone who has followed and supported this page over the years. We look forward to continuing the conversation and sharing the latest news, updates, and Alaska-Hawaiian pilot perspectives on our joint page.

A hui hou!

Hawaiian Airlines pilots extend our deepest sympathies to the employees of Spirit Airlines, as it discontinued operations today after 33 years of service. We are devastated by the impact this will have on thousands of Spirit employees and their families, including 2,000 of our fellow ALPA pilots.

To help assist our industry colleagues through this difficult period, the Hawaiian MEC today approved a resolution urging management to offer priority consideration to former Spirit Airlines pilot applicants, along with expedited placement in future new hire classes.

Alaska & Hawaiian Airlines will also be providing extended travel privileges to affected pilots and flight attendants over the coming weeks, to help ensure our peers are able to make it home smoothly.

Hawaiian pilots stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Spirit and will do our best to provide support in whatever way we can.

Today, the HAL MEC unanimously elected three MEC Officers for upcoming two-year terms beginning May 6, 2026. Capt. Larry Payne was re-elected for his fourth term as MEC Chair. Capt. John Crabbe was elected as Vice Chair and Capt. Mathias Lundblad was re-elected as Secretary-Treasurer. Capt. Rob Willoughby, who previously served as MEC Vice Chair, will be assuming a newly created position as the MEC’s Executive Administrator, continuing his current work assisting the MEC and our pilots.

This leadership team will represent more than 1,200 Hawaiian pilots as joint collective bargaining agreement (JCBA) negotiations continue with Alaska Airlines management. The MEC Representatives thank all who volunteered to serve and recognize the time, effort, and sacrifice required to give back to our pilot group.
