Im at CHQ and I know its a different animal than the Republic and Shuttle stuff, so here is a pretty average trip. Except for the 27 hours in PVD.

Now granted there are times that I have done 7 leg days and there are times where I have done one leg days that are worth less than 1 hour. But on average thats what it looks like. Haven't seen many of the 6 or 7 leg days since we furloughed so take it for what its worth...
As for the Hawaiian flying. I think its great. Any possibility to put planes to work and bring guys back is good in my opinion. If someone else is paying for the gas and contractually guaranteeing us flying I don't see why any regional wouldn't take this and I don't see why it is any more or less risk than any other new code share partner. All the nay sayers would be happy to take this flying if it were offered to their regional when they had guys on the street. I am still interested to see the fine print in the contract if, and thats a big if this stuff goes through.
That is all...
