(It simply is not cost feasible for HA to fly in replacement aircraft so frequently, and reaccommodate pax so frequently, when a 767 goes bad and can't be repaired within a few hours or a day or two. So frequently one sees in the news occurrences of that - over and over and over again.)

I guess that is why DL wants them. After all, as we all saw last summer, unreliability - esp. when it comes to 767-300ER flights - is all that DL is about.
Please post that data...... Also please post the data of 767-300ERs as a hole vs every other aircraft type that is "better".

The real non-stupid made up crap reason they are going to AC is due to HA being unable to get a right price to buy them. This is why they don't have winglets. The plan for now is HA will keep the rest of the 300ERs till the 350 comes. (IIRC HA now owns most of the 763s(As and ERs) but could come to terms with the lease company for these)
