Interesting article posted on Pacific Business News today regarding the trading and selling of certain trip bids. The article specifically calls out legacy US flight attendants.

Can’t believe it’s already been ten years. Crazy. While I only worked for AQ three years, it was, by far, my favorite airline I’ve ever worked for. I’m at HA now and I really enjoy it but it isn’t the same. There’s a handful of us who worked together at AQ at my station and we continuously swap stor...

Jump to postI saw the same plane yesterday. I'm curious as well. Looked like the engine was torn apart. I'm wondering if they're waiting for an engine replacement.
Jump to postNice to see JL returning to KOA. Should be very interesting with HA on HND. I wonder who will pick up the ground handling contract? This will be interesting as the airport is a mess right now because of the renovations. There literally is no counter space available so they'll have to use an existing...
Jump to postI actually started on QIK back when I worked with HP, then I moved to SABRE with legacy AA; now I find myself back on QIK. A few of my observations: Loading the seat map takes MUCH longer in QIK You can't change multiple seats at a time. SABRE allows you to string seats, not QIK. Many times a seat d...
Jump to postWhat I like most about this is that many employees were included in the refresh process. There's a meaning behind everything painted on our planes; even more so now. Pualani has never looked better! I can't wait to see where our airline goes next!
Of course, I may be bias
The people on this thread defending UA are the type of people who would be the first to sue the company if it had been them knocked out by security. Not only did you get assaulted, injured and dragged out of a plan against your will, you are now being watched by millions all over the world who are ...
Jump to postI guarantee that you will see HND/NRT-KOA sometime soon... I was thinking the same thing. They were essentially forced to exit the market due to their bankruptcy and never made it a secret they wanted back. Now that KOA modernization has started and the custom facilities are back it's only a matter...

This is some awesome work; I've never seen anything like it. It's great to see the different takeoff capabilities of each aircraft.
"G-YMMB forever unclean!"
This guy's in a league of his own.
Well, I guess that answers the question as to where they're going to get the 763 for the new seasonal KOA-DFW service.
Jump to postI like it.
Much better on my iPad and phone. I think this is where a majority of web viewing is heading so this is a welcomed change. At least for me.

Finally an airline that changed it for the better. I really like it.
Well done.
I'll actually be very surprised if ITO sustains the <acronym title="Los Angeles - International (LAX / KLAX), USA - California">LAX</acronym> flight.

Jump to postThey're a great airline but I wonder if they've reached their potential. The A321s on order will allow them to serve west coast markets from cities such as KOA.

Like previously mentioned, it will be interesting to see what happens when it goes mx. The nature of the beast is that it will.

You want early boarding, pay for it. You want a seat next to you empty for your car seat? Pay for it.
