I just hope AS does it right and keeps the spirit of inter-island flying, as close to what it is, as possible. I get having to streamline fleets, increase utilization, and cut the fat, but I want to see the HNL base stay and grow for pilots, and I want to see that unique flying stay unique. I still think a 737 is going to be doing it 100%.
Jesus tap dancing Christ, who cares??? The company will make a decision when they fell like it. Why are we trying to predict it? Just do your job and wait for them to make the decision you have no ability to influence.
