While I'm not sure anyone at Koapaka has a crystal ball that can see out more than a few days, I do think 321 flying will impact interisland flying. At this point no one can tell to what degree it will reduce the 71 schedule, but it's a safe bet it will. And I'm also betting that ALL the 76s will be retired when enough 321s arrive on property. There should still be a net increase in pilots...let's see....16 321s x 12 pilots each is 192...minus say 10 76s at 120 pilots is a net increase of 72, plus 2 additional 330s 2nd half of 2015 is another 24...so 96 total net before 717 block hour reductions due to 321 flying. So that would take the list to roughly 700.....the 1000 number must be if all options are exercised.
