CPA’s are expensive. Since RASM/Yields are in the toilet on the inter island I doubt for SWA it’s worth it at the moment. Especially what fuel costs are at the moment. That lever is there though. Still scratching my head about the lounge out there. They have a plan of some sort. Just can’t figure out what.

The plan is multi-leg itineraries to Tahiti in a 737. The HNL layover will give enough time for the pax to eat at a buffet with soggy food and nowhere to sit. Free pretzels on the counter until they run out.
