Actually, Hawaii requires only ETOPS138 for CF6 powered 767 variants. Hence my question why it was obvious that the 764s were ETOPS180 certified.</font>
Why is this exception allowed for them

There is quite a gap between California and HNL that 138ETOPS does not cover. Why the special treatment? Has that engine/aircraft combination proved sensationally reliable or something?
