Someone posted a while back that 737Max will eventually replace the PHX-HI 757s. Widebodies to Hawai'i are becoming pretty rare except for very long flights not within single-aisle range (like DFW or ORD). Many of the LAX flights are now on A321s.hp-csr-phx said:I was hoping we would get 767-300 for the PHX to Hawaii routes. Guess it will be 757 for a while. Seems like at least once a week we have a 8 to 10 hour delay for MX, and have to wait for a 757 to arrive from CUN around 1830 to take out a delayed morning Hawaii flight.
The 767 doesn't have a stellar MX record either.hp-csr-phx said:I was hoping we would get 767-300 for the PHX to Hawaii routes. Guess it will be 757 for a while.

Dispatchers ruined your plans over fueling the airplane. Happens all the time...dash8roa said:The 333's were early frames and the wings employee travel site always warned that the flights from FCO were weight restricted. Glad to see them go. They ruined my plans more than once.
Art at ISP said:From what I understand, these A333's are early models and don't have the extra tanks or range to make them appealing to DL. This may be partially why AA is getting rid of them.
Its pretty safe to say if they come to Delta it will be for parts. Just deferred 4 A350s because they don't see a need for the extra capacity right now.A320 Driver said:Art,
The only time I have ever seen an A330 with a fuel load greater than the capacity of the -300 was the return flight from TLV.
DL may not want to spend the money to do the upgrades that LCC ignored... who knows?

The retirement of nine older A333s is not really a fleet reduction considering that LUS ordered 22 A350s more than a decade ago with the intention that some of those A350s would replace the older short-ranged A333s.757Pilot said:I'm guessing you're not a mainline employee based on your screen name and comment. I can't really imagine any mainline employee being 'glad' our fleet is being reduced.
