Do you have any information that suggests the proportion of HNL flights experiencing problems is any different than any other set of flights? Or do you take a few incidents and extrapolate into some “huge” problem that somehow is destination-caused? I fly to from HNL and Hawaii monthly and have had zero mechanical problems since 2013.

Last mechanical problems I expererienced was a malfunctioning toilet IAH-SFO and faulty baggage door latch LAS-IAH. I’m not going to extrapolate that to “What’s with all the mechanical problems on the IAH flights?!?”.
