Re: Hawaiian to acquire additional A321/A330s, accelerated 767 retirement

Could the C-Series fill a niche in HA's fleet by replacing or supplementing the 717s? The CS300 would increase capacity on the interisland routes from 123 (717) to ~130-140 per flight depending on how tightly packed Economy is.

You can't tweak a garbage heap until it smells like roses. You can, over time. Prime example is Lucky Goldstar that made crappy low quality electronics and now is one of the main electronics companies in the world, LG. Planning on taking 10+ years to "tweak" A.net? Good luck when your act...

The fact that someone in a position of control at DM thinks that this design can be fixed when people are PLAINLY TELLING THEM that they are leaving the site and not coming back because of the design is proof of how little the problem is understood.

It'd be nice if we were given some rationale for selecting phpBB. The obvious one is that it costs nothing. If that's true, fine.

After 24 hours, it seems that there are far more people who are extremely unhappy with the new site than there are people who are happy with it.

If it ain't broke....don't fix it....nothing wrong with the big blue screen..... why? Because the backend of the old site was one big mess of code. even the simplest fix could result in a downed site at any moment. That's why there was a need for a new design.

I'll keep it brief, but I really agree that this new layout is a serious downgrade from the original site.
