west 757's

[Nachtjäger]

we have 9 a/c that are etops at this time 1 is in c-check these planes are over used they also fly the domestic routes and on avg 1 plane is always broke. 908 spent more time sitting in Hawaii the last 2 weeks then flying.

It would behoove us to have an increased MX presence in HNL, and bigger Stores. UA, AC, AQ, and the rest are all very nice and helpful; but we really need to have more MX and Stores staffing, and more parts. HF parts come painfully to mind...

As for equipment, the 757 is a workhorse with the RB-211 and should be recognized as an excellent plane. But I also think it would be good to have newer, larger planes on the HI flights. We'll have to someday.

You'll get East's 767 in the year 2035

If Parker wins control of Delta, the airplane for that route will be the 767-300. Delta flies 767-3/400's domestically, so Doogie would place then on Intl./HI routes ASAP.

ASAP? Not until he gets a combined pilot's contract and certificate. Note that HP/US is still waiting on one.

The company really needs to find a replacement plane to fly to Hawaii, these planes are breaking every day a/c 908 has had engine shut down problems that could cost the etops program. the planes are old and falling apart they are showing the lack care they have not received ever sense they stated outsourcing the heavy checks and blowing off the mods to save money. some wide bodies would be a nice pickup for this service. a330's or 767's

Unless he meant Athens, GA, I would think Parker has some longer range A/C in mind. I would think the 767s would be perfect to Hawaii. Hawaiian fills the 767-300s they bought while in Chapter 11 from LAX to Hawaii.
