I can't say if it's enough to make up for the 700s going to ASA/SKW and 190s going to Compass/Republic.

HONOLULU -- A Delta Airlines 747 jet flying from Honolulu to Osaka, Japan, on Thursday had to make an emergency landing at Midway Atoll because of a crack in the cockpit windshield, U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials said.
The pilots landed at Henderson Field about 5:40 p.m. after finding a "major crack" on the windshield, the airline said. The plane hit two birds as it landed, damaging one of the jet's wing flaps, USFW officials said.
A second 747 was sent to the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge to pick up the 359 passengers. The flight headed on to Japan about 5 a.m. Friday.
"It's a good thing Midway is here when needed for these types of situations," refuge manager Sue Schulmeister said.
The crew hoped to complete repairs in 24 hours, wildlife officials said.
About 60 people live on the atoll, maintaining the airport and monitoring the refuge.

You know what an 11 is, right?
That's a 10...that swallows.
Or as a buddy of mine said, "If you just hold them by the nose, they'll all swallow..."

Rumor Alert----
Word around the water cooler is that 104 pilots have submitted papers for the early retirement incentive program. Adjustment to be made in the fall AE.
