All ten ETOPS 737-800 Eskimos will be getting "leid" this fall!
Proving runs begin in September with Seattle to Honolulu and Lihue service starting in October and Anchorage to Honolulu service starting in December. The Anchorage crews are the only ETOPS qualified pilots on staff- bummer, looks like there could be some long Hawaii layovers in my future! What's cool is I could be shooting an ILS to mins in 1/4 mile blowing snow -40 degree Barrow one day, then sitting on the beach drinking a Mai-Tai in Hawaii the next!
ALOHA!
