But at this point nobody knows, not even the people who will ultimately make the call. Early days.

and the answer to the question may very well be Boeing.

like 1 in 1,000,000… so I’m telling you there is a chance!

2030 Fleet:
397 73/MAX
49 787
18 330
those are the numbers I would bet in Vegas

AS FA's are the most welcoming I've ever seen. I've never interacted with HA.

I believe ours are owned, albeit leveraged..

From the merger PowerPoint when this acquisition was announced, it showed Hawaiian owning 14 and 4 leased A321s. The 330s are 50% owned, and 50% leased.

I would think they would want as many airframes as possible right now if they truly wanted the growth Boeing can’t seem to supply.

Maybe this explains the pay raises. Lots of pain to come in terms of being overstaffed. Since the AS pilot group values money at the expense of everything else. It could be a way to keep pilots on property during the churn.

Hawaiian also has 'purchase rights' for 9 more NEOs, for whatever that's worth. Current fleet:

24 A330s 12 owned/12 leased
18 A321s 14 owned/4 leased, purchase rights for 9 more
12 787 orders; 2 delievered so far, purchase rights for 8 more
19 717s all owned
10 A330F; 3 delievered so far, none owned, options for (?) more
