That’s not counting AZ.

Depending on if all the 330’s stay in HNL…( I don’t see that happening) 787 SEA will be the more junior a/c if it’s all staffed by HA. Pilots will fight tooth and nail to stay in HNL. Too many wives that will refuse to leave family in HI.

Roughly 600 pilots will be going to mainland 737 bases at some point.
