We have plenty of pilots there who are all over LRF opportunities... Company puts out an SOS, you have a local out there who'll fly a redeye to the West Coast and then hop right back on Hawaiian and sleep on the way back to the islands. They'll bag some serious TFP for being gone from home maybe 15 hours or so....
