I heard a good rumor going around the airport...

That AS was going to start flying early November to Maui and Honolulu...

They have pilots in training at this very minute to fly 757-200's to Hawaii...

The fact that they have no ETOPS experience, normally you market new routes 3 to 6 months in advance and I haven't seen any 757's with Alaska logos, make this rumor just that. But it is a good one.

No way. Impossible. Because they would be selling seats right now for flights that started in November. They don't even have any 757s either. Even if they were acquiring them it would have happened already.
