It’s gonna be interesting to see if the FAA grants the certificate holder the ability to resume operation of their 737s now that the final report is out. I can’t imagine anybody would want to fly for them anyways. The other 737 cargo operator has basically doubled their aircraft in HNL and appear to be dominating the market.
