I've flown on HA 330's to Vegas, it was great. Not sure about what goes on in the cockpit? If they were not reliable why did many operators dumped the Boeing 787 and not wait?

[wowdude999]

@hamogunjafarmer Airlines dumped the 787 because of the delays....I asked HAL why they chose A330's and they said if best fits their demand. They dont need 777's on Island to Mainland routes, the A332 has enough range for them to be flexable. But HAL better order some Boeings or im going back to UA/CO

@wowdude999 They have no need for multiple types of aircraft. The 717 is a terrific aircraft, and I attribute that to the fact MD made it. Boeing is overrated by us Americans, Airbus is just as good! Look at UA, they are purchasing a ton of A350s. I don't blame them!

[wowdude999]

@tparaiso601 A350 is another 787, Emirates ordered ANOTHER 50 77W's in response to the failure of the A350, and Etihad ordered more 789's few days ago in response to the failure of the A350. All Airbus's planes were responses to Boeing's aircrafts. They never made their own plane yet..

r u kinding me... the a330 r reliable

[WorldAirwaysMD11]

Not A good plane. If they wanted a big plane so badly they should have bought a 777-200LR or 777-300. The A330 was a waste of money. No longer a reliable plane and never has been a reliable plane.

@WorldAirwaysMD11 They didn't buy these - they're LEASED.

[WorldAirwaysMD11]

@MrNeedsdecaf ok. my bad

[MrNeedsdecaf]

@WorldAirwaysMD11 I'm not sure why you consider the A330 an unreliable aircraft as they do have a good safety record.

[WorldAirwaysMD11]

@MrNeedsdecaf Hello. Well i have been flying for 38 years. I was a L-1011 Captain and DC-10 Captain for Delta Airlines. In my experience with these two planes they both even dough old have been was of the best planes i have ever experienced. The A330 has alot of Computer Malfunctions. Plus for a new plane it has alot of bad records on safety. In my opinion Hawaiian airlines would have been better off with a 777-200LR or 777-300. A330 is a waste. I have been on Northwest A330's and it was bad.

[MrNeedsdecaf]

@WorldAirwaysMD11 The DC-10 was a deathtrap for passengers when it first entered service. It claimed a lot more lives than the A330 has.

[WorldAirwaysMD11]

@MrNeedsdecaf Thats true. That was when it first entered service. Now you never hear the plane crashing. Every time something happens the A330 was the cause of it. In the years i have been flying the A330 has been the plane with the problem. Now it is the problem. in the 80s when i was flying the L-1011 and DC-10 For Delta. The DC-10 Was the problem. Just keep watching. The A330 Will make a record one day for the most crashed and incidents.

[jetrc2008]

@WorldAirwaysMD11 We never hear DC-10s crash anymore since it's already phased out, and most DC-10s are now freighters.

All planes will have their own incidents, even the 777 has its faults (and that's coming from a 777 fan)

[samthelittleman1]

@WorldAirwaysMD11 I agree 777 all the way!

[yamanote11111]

Great for Hawaii! Now if only Island Air would change out its equipment......

[TravisaKaBiggie]

nice catch. I work those planes in seattle and one of these came through the other day.
