True. However I could see it if (big if) we thought a large HNL hub would be in our long term interests. If that were the case it could be a smart acquisition. Its either there or Guam to have the kind of hub we want anywhere in the region if Japan refuses to play ball and effectively locks us out of HND, which all signs point to being the case.

They do seem expensive and the Yen issue is something to consider. Perfect fleet mix though. I think it all hinges on the geographic fit to the long term master plan (if any).
