From my understanding they said they had no intention of getting rid of Hawaiian's airbuses. Granted they said the same with VA initially. But if AS truly wants to become a national airline this is their chance. The other legacies all operate a mixed fleet and for good reason. Spirit gives them true coast to coast and a network including the Caribbean and South America flying.
