So, when anything happens... we cover it. Brilliant... don't staff the base for the flying it does, instead have over 1/3 the category on rsv so you can cover the other bases that pass through.

They seem to put up a blind eye about the liquid thing, though they can pull it legally... it was the duty free thing that I was speaking of. No crewmembers can buy from dooty free.

Heck, for a while there we were all getting the open your bag inspection in AG coming in to customs. Somebody pull a stunt?

Just to verify, we cannot, period, buy anything from the airport duty free post-security screening? Not even a pack of gum? I was hoping to get some mexican vanilla extract home from the duty free shop...Old lady likes to bake.

It sure was fun talking about HBO's "Big Love" in the Salt Lake crew lounge! All kidding aside, SLC has plenty of hotties and the city is one of the cleanest in the country. Pretty safe too. The further south you go the bigger the hair. I swear that 80's hair band hair is still in vogue. Real snow, hot chics, big mountains, nice people and guns. Lots and lots of guns!!!

Don't forget Park City is only a quick drive over the mtn...great beer.

Isn't all the draft beer in Utah 3.2 %? Was stuck there a couple of years ago for 3 days...Nor-easter...and it really took way too many to get me there...

Well, could of been the tolerance level too!
Kinda kills it for a good draft micro/craft beer doesn't it?

At last check, Hawaiian owned 4 of its 332's and 4 763's - which are the ex-Delta domestic 763's that HA made ETOPS.

Hawaiian owns 15 of the 18 717's after doing a deal with Boeing where it bought the 717's off lease.

Okay somebody owes me $2.

Still alive, just spending all my time studying, training, commuting, sitting reserve, etc at the new gig.

I'll check in every couple years and see if you guys have started hiring.

They are now the largest private land owner, largest private cattle operation, largest private wheat farm, and I beleive the largest citrus grower in the U.S. They own ALOT of land that produces food. A bushel of wheat will be worth more than a bushel of gold if you are hungry.

Good thing they don't believe in firearms.

From their 2011 Annual Report:

A330-200.................3 leased...2 owned
767-300ER/EM..........9 leased...7 owned
717..........................1 leased...15 owned

Having grown up in Northern Arizona (ie as many LDS as Southern Utah), I can assure you they have lots and lots of guns:D

Just a small history lesson for youze outsiders who think your safe in SLC. They just LOVE outsiders!!

Ok, all in fun, honest. I still have lots of close LDS friends from high school.
