Pre-COVID, didn't the Mechanic only fly between GUM and MAJ? Since all eastward hoppers turned at HNL for a same day departure back west only a few hours later, my understanding was the mechanic spent the night in MAJ. No need for him to go to HNL since there was other Mechanical personnel there.

I guess the mechanic is traveling the whole route now.

Remember the typical flight schedule:

Depart GUM: 7:00am
Dep MAJ: 8:00pm
Cross Date Line
Arr HNL: 2:00am SAME DAY

Dep HNL: 7:00am SAME DAY
Cross Date Line
Arr MAJ: 10:00am NEXT DAY
