[700UW]

Alaska, WestJet, Hawaiian and NW has had to make fuel stops also on this route.

 

[Dog Wonder]

They flight CLT-HNL?

 

[BuffaloJoe]

I don't have the capabilities to research, but since say December 1, how many times has DL/NW ATL-HNL diverted?

According to Flightaware, ATL-HNL on DL/NW, hasn't diverted since November 18th! And the A330 just started the route November 15th!

Only NW flies into CLT, and I know they don't do HNL directly from CLT!

Hawaiian? Where in the World would they stop for Fuel? The USS Nimitz? They only fly to HI from the West Coast/LAS/PHX!

 

[BoeingBoy]

I don't see how its "padding" the schedule

The problem is fuel stops and late departures from CLT, with late departures being a bigger problem than fuel stops since the flight has operated non-stop more times than it's left on time. The published schedule takes neither into account.

Well, I would hope so, considering it is a nonstop flight. (Or, at least it's supposed to be.)

Well Today is January 9, 2010 and Flight 807 is estimating HNL ** 13 ** Minutes EARLY.

So After 23 Days of Operating the Flight, we may Fianlly have an On-Time Arrival !

Wrong! Yesterday, flight 807 got to the gate in HNL at 31 past the hour, 20 minutes late. (Close, but no cigar). This flight has still NEVER arrived within 14 minutes of schedule (on-time for DOT reporting purposes). I don't know how they estimated the expected flight time for this flight, but they were off by quite a bit. Of course the winds are stronger this time of year, but they have not been stronger than normal EVERY DAY, and this should have been factored into the published block times. This will be chronicled as the most delayed flight in America, late 100% of the time. More free press coverage for US Airways!

Flight 807 CLT-HNL is showing a late arrival again today. This flight has still NEVER arrived within 14 minutes of schedule since its inauguration. That's now 27 days in a row. There is a new Passenger Bill of Rights which I believe incurs fines to an airline of up to $27,000 for chronically late flights. I know there have been some strong winds on some days, but to be late every single day shows some serious ineptitude. Who is ultimately responsible for this?
