Mahalo Rylan,

So, ExpertFlyer gives conflicting results for different scenarios.
Still, encouraging for me, as you say.

Spoke to a 20 year plus FA on my HNL-NRT segment, boy are there some
unresolved issues between NW staff and DL management! The "news" though is that DL intends to replace all TransPac and IntraAsia metal with 767's and 757's exclusively. All 747's to be reallocated. This FA was on the trial 757 HNL-Osaka, and was not impressed with it's viability as a replacement to 747's. This is the "intent", according to this FA but "this airline, unlike NW, doesn't think things out, they state intent and train us and then change their mind". I expressed dismay at both quality (757!!!) and availability of seats with a 757, asked if they intended to increase flights or lose capacity, answer was a shrug of the shoulders.
We shall see.
Anyway, my first post merger run to BKK, everything was smooth and up to standard.
