I wonder if the trips will be built as 2 leg 3 days worth about 11 hours with the 24 hour layover and red eye home? I hear those aren't too desirable from a pay stand point...

Also, I am guessing the loads will have to be regulated. I am not sure how a fully loaded -900ER will take off out of Kahului/Maui with a 6995' runway and fly for 5.5 hours to the west coast with step climbs along the way. I guess we will start with HNL and go from there.
They used to be "not too desirable" from a pay standpoint. The 5:15 calendar day min fixed that particular issue- 3 day will still pay 15:45. Potential for there to be long redeye legs is another issue I've heard guys bring up about those flights.
