I hope that’s just to gain IOE for the crews. This bird begs to put on the more premium long haul routes like from JFK or Tokyo. Their current A330 biz class is nothing to write home about.
787 takes less fuel but has a longer range because of it having a lighter air frame and those twin engines. Overall cost effective without losing passenger capacity.
All logos, branding, and should remain the same even if the acquisition follows through. Nothing will really change, expect the company would now be under the umbrella of Alaska group.
@@rylans.5365yes and no. This will not be the same as Horizon which is a separate airline from Alaska Airlines under the Alaska Air Group. They will be able to keep the name/brand, livery, etc since they will own that unlike the Virgin American deal which the Virgin brand was just leased.
@nickolliver3021 I think it would be neat to paint a special livery. Paint a regular Hawaiian livery on a 787 in Alaska colors and also paint a regular Alaska 737 in Hawaiian colors to help integrate the new airline group.
@@jaypainespotter I know but it wouldn't be worth it for Hawaiian if that went ahead. but who knows what could happen. Your way of it is one example that could happen
Doesn’t mean they have to follow that same sizing pattern. Air travel continues to grow the more people there are, and demand for tourism is at an all time high.
some are built in seattle. Ones built in Charleston have enough issues that some airlines are refusing to take delivery of 787 built in Charleston. Or so I heard.
@@dabda8510 Boeing issues have nothing to do with WA or SC. All the SC hate comes from union propaganda since they are mad people can see workers in SC get paid more than the union people in WA when you adjust cost of living between the areas.
Your understanding of a door vs a door plug is skewed. Doors cannot fly off, as they are secured by pressure and the differential would counteract a door trying to open. Door plugs on the other hand are held in by bolts and fittings, both of which are not fail safe and have the potential to not be secured.
there doing a test flight and there landing back to the Boeing Dealer to do a full stop landing and then be on the way. There making sure that everything on the new 787 is working properly before heading to the destination.
I believe Hawaiian made a huge mistake!!! Just my opinion. They already operated the A330-200, if I were them I would’ve just went with the A330NEO and Airbus was willing to give them a discount, plus you would’ve had cockpit familiarity with your pilots but now they have to be trained going from a side stick A330 to a yoke.
