I’m just wondering what the breakeven point is. Those early flights out of HNL weren’t completely empty precovid. Seems like the number crunchers are missing something. Not to mention the increase in fatigue/sick calls as a result of these terrible pairings.

In reality, SWA has cut back their interisland schedule quite a bit to concentrate on direct neighbor island flights. Hawaiian still has more overnight pairings for the interisland trips than normal day trips and of course crickets from management.

SWA interisland schedule has been back to pre-covid frequency for many months, and hasn't changed.
HNL- LIH/KOA/ITO 4 RT daily
HNL-OGG 6 RT daily
KOA-OGG 1 RT daily

Time to Line Holder
How long does it typically take NHs to go from reserves to line holder in any of the airframes? And is QoL about the same right now for reserves and line holders? Heard HAL is a little short staffed on pilots at the moment, thus pilots are getting worked more than usual.
