Do NOT give them any ideas.

Besides it'd be much more likely to be E-145.

so, i had this question floating in my mind the other day...if UA did move CRJs to HI to compete with Hawaiian, etc....would SMI/J sell those two pictured seats on the positioning flight? would anyone here buy them?

"Attempt"?

Achieved time and time again.

Especially in Hawai`i.

I'd much rather do California to Hawaii on a new PMCO 787-800 than an ancient PMUA 757-200. Am I completely in the minority here?

I don't know which opinion is the majority, but I prefer the 757 simply for the far more comfortable seats in both Y and F.
