The big problem right now is the minimum layover in Guam. Now only about 13 hrs. It's already causing delays. A HNL domicile would help with that.
Flew one of the last trips that was a 38 hour overnight. Captain and I had a long discussion about how 13 hours was never going to work. Looks like we were right. Typical airline stuff, pennywise, pound foolish.
