Not really sure why people are having such a hard time with this. It simply is taking longer than we anticipated. If an ETOPS check will take longer, the schedules will be adjusted once the plane touches down in Hawaii. And we will fly a leg to any of the launch cities with a valid ETOPS check, unload, load up and go, all within the allotted time for that check.
The company jumped the gun with the early announcement and are paying for it with PR issues. This will all pass. We'll get certification and 3-6 months from we'll be heading west(er).
