The question was asked during a Hawaiian townhall and management gave a long winded non-answer. Someone asked a union rep and they said AAG management wouldn’t explain it to them either.
If you look at the TPA you’ll see HAL has purchase rights for eight more 787’s, that’s on top of the 12 we had firm orders for. In addition, AS added 5 options, which they just converted to firm orders, so we now have 17 B787’s coming. We still have purchase rights for an additional 8.

that would be cruel. No one should be fenced out of the 737for that long.

Do you think Las Vegas might be a future base for us? 😆

Dude that’s the best summary of that. So my understating is what you stated, and those 5 are -10s, is that how you understand it?

No, the number of bases will be shrinking, not expanding

Lol, there is literally no indication that that is the case.

Incorrect. In recurrent, they are telling pilots that in 3-5 years, they expect growth in SFO and LAX again.
