Imagine how happy we'd all be if we had 72 additional airplanes right now while we wait for yet-to-be-certified airplanes to be delivered.

One might call a diversified fleet smart and savvy.

As if refinancing wasn't an option. Especially for the A319s, which were quickly turned into aluminum cans.

The removal of the Airbus was a decision in search of a reason. And when it comes time to remove the Hawaiian A321s, I'm sure the "reason" will be just as convincing.
Reason found. 321s are having “new” inspection. That’s the latest. Also heard we are over staffed captains when our reserve grid minimum reserve number is for 2 across the holiday break. Also we are supposedly going to be unprofitable according to flight ops when investors day says the opposite.

Management doesn’t owe us the truth. Apparently

you’ll learn AS management is very cunning. Great fo profit and share holder value sometimes comes at our expensive. They know how to run a profitable business that’s for sure

hoping max comes in 27 would mean growth for us all

Only 6 deliveries between now and then. Let’s hope for no aircraft retirements…

I think they will want to keep the 737s

Even if they retire all of th NEOS it would be 18 planes of growth even at 14 pilots a plane that would create 250 new hires

I’d wait for aircraft certification to start counting those chickens. Don’t forget the potential to park the 330s as well.

Personally I’d love to see some 319s for inter airline and a big, beautiful HNL base. But I’m not in charge.

yeah the 13 more 787s will take up that slack as the 787s will be 3/4 crew and the 330fs are just 2

so those are counted for the 787 will just be super senior the gig harbor crowd will be disappointed
Now doubt we need Boeing to come through
