To the best of my knowlege the 737' s are all ETOPS capable. It just depends on if management wants to spend the money on maintaining them to that certification. I've heard nothing about Hawaii, other than I'd expet we would buy that airline before Alaska.

There was a good article on the Asia flying posted here a couple of weeks back. The anticipated trend is overflying Japan ... one stop out of SEA and to a lesser extent, LA.

No good SEA 737 rumors, but, I think we will need something to increase feed there.
