3. Inter island overnights are staying for now.

4. Airbuses are here to stay.

5. Widebody fleet & routes will likely grow in the future. Alaska wants international expansion.

6. No plans for Seattle base for Hawaiian pilots.

7. "Hawaiian" Callsign uncertain. (prob gonna go away)

So far - I'm liking what I'm hearing .... except #7
