Who in their right mind would fly a 767-300, and a domestic config one, for a 10 hour flight?
Now the only saving grace is still A330 ATL-HNL - but way too few seats to meet the demand.
DL could already use 767-400s if it wants to on MSP-HNL, DTW-HNL... and I'm still waiting for 747 to be brought back to ATL-HNL.
The only significant difference between a domestic 763 and a international 763 is the J cabin.
The only difference in the Y cabin of an A330 and a 763ER is the 763ER lacks PTV. The AVOD in Y in the 763 and the handful of 763ERs is far superior to the one on the A330. The A330 overhead bin space is slightly better than the 763, but not much.
The 763 already has better legroom in Y than the A330.
If they put AVOD and bigger/better overhead bins on the 763ER, it would basically become a small 764ER. The 764ER outshines the A330 in every category (better J seats, better Y seats, better AVOD, better overhead bins). And the domestic 764ER used to be the Hawaii bird.
