This looks to be a somewhat Young bird with roughly 5700 cycles.

When does she come online?

Does anyone know what the configuration will be? I'm excited to work on this bird, I'm just curious if they'll put the envoy seats in so eventually it can fly to Europe without having to reconfig. it again.

Don't get too excited unless you work on the west.

I wasn't planning Too. Even though the B757 has a lot of range and has capacity.......they are no longer in production.....as in Older Model, and I can Only imagine what a Flea Market Version looks like. (If memory serves Me right, TravelPro used to refer to them as ChittyChitty Bang Bang! )

[I Was... Now US]

Just noticed that the 757 we were supposed to get from North American is now going to Air Jamaica. Anyone know whats up with this?

Think it's a mis understanding because it was registered N207UW and actually went into Service in the US Airways system today! We got a bulletin regarding some configuration differences for our manual. This plane will primarily be used for PHX to Hawaii

I was checking a few US Air flights to Hawaii, and it seems in December 2011 (I did not check any other dates), US West 757 operations total 9 flights/day. 4 to Honolulu, 2 to Maui, one each to Lihue, Kona, and Cancun. Excuse my ignorance, but if US isn't getting any more 757s, doesn't this leave the West '57 fleet stretched to the absolute limits, allowing no slack because of a mechanical/weather/other delay/cancellation? Also, does this end the occasional 757 sub to SNA/LAX/SAN? Thanks, and excuse me if I'm asking the wrong things. First time posting here.

Woah, they added ANOTHER Honolulu flight! Yes, this will mean that there are no spares on the days they operate that schedule. Maybe they plan on switching CUN over to East metal again. The West birds are rarely scheduled for domestic turns (outside of HI) unless it's for a sub.

Not just one more Honolulu flight, but two, starting December 16, it appears, for a total of 4x/daily. However, in the month or two before that, it dips to only 1x daily.

They've been running 3x on flex days (flights 28/33). Really makes me wonder how HA is doing on this route if the 4x daily sticks.

Also noticed that they turned one of the OGG flights into a day flight, leaves PHX at 8:45 and returns at 23:10 instead of doing the redeye out from the island.

Oh. My mistake. I read somewhere that these flex days were added flights on Friday/Saturday/Sunday, or something to that effect. Would you mind providing me with a more in-depth explanation? I also wonder the same thing about HA. If they are still running the 767, that gives them either 253 or 270 seats one way. For a contrast, US has 380/570/760 seats per way, based on 2x/3x/4x daily. And that's to HNL alone.
