Roughly 12 crews based in SEA.....767/717 Sim training was done in SEA.....With the introduction of A330 service, and Boeing moving their training to MIA, the writing was on the wall according to many. HA's stock, although not trading high in the first place, did take a bit of a dive recently. The fall coincided with HA's announcement of of official purchase of the A321NEO's... But if anyone looked a little closer, it also was the same day that HA reduced of few their forecasts for the quarter..(go to hawaiianair.com, "about us" section). I blame it on the forecasts (which were already supposed to be down for the first half of 2013... The second half is forecast to be back stronger)...All I know is pretty much every flight I do, to the Mainland, has a load factor in the mid 90%.... Every inner island commute I'm on is nearly full from 11am on, and HA just announced today the addition of a China flight next year, and cancelling MNL due to under performance... So from my junior viewpoint atleast they are addressing some of the issues going forward.

Just some preseason cleanup for the DAL merger. Makes it much easier to integrate seniority lists. One HAL base = easy fence calculation.
