I wish them continued good deals... though it would be great to see more of the same offered around the system...MCO, LAS, SEA
The Hawaii stuff was not a good deal for CLE....unless you you consider a 20 hour 5 day trip a good deal... the only reason CLE was given the original 737 Hawaii flying was because CLE was by far the smallest Continental 737 base, so there were far fewer pilots to give ETOPS training....it was the cheapest option for CAL to test the 737 ETOPS flying.
As far as CLE still being a base...I am surprised it is still around for so long after they dehubbed it....I don’t think it is favoritism....I think it is just not a top priority....my guess is as soon as the company hits some financial headwinds, CLE will be gone....being based in CLE I hope it never closes, but unfortunately I think our days are numbered.
