A330s and 717s to Delta, A321s to American, Dreamliner orders cancelled. Currently finding out how many people to boot to make it from HNL to Auckland on a MAX 8.
What do you mean it can't?
Currently exploring a new base in the Marshall Islands to offer one-stop service to Asia and Australia/New Zealand on MAXes.
Does that all sound about right?

The email said operations would merge, and as you say I'm sure an SLI will be required even if the company didn't want one.

unless there is something contractually preventing it... Add in minimum 5 yr fence. Seniority list integration will be interesting as always.
