At http://www.airsafe.com/events/airlines/fleetage.htm is mentioned that the average fleetage of Aloha is 15.4 years rather than 25.4 (but it is still rather old).

[edit] FAA Exception?

Can someone clarify the details about the exception granted to Aloha by the FAA to operate the 737-200? I'm curious as to why, but can't find any details.

• The exemption permits airlines operating within Hawaii to use aircraft that comply with only Stage II noise regulations, rather than the quieter Stage III regulations, under certain conditions. Rather than try and summarize it, I'll point you to the text of the rule here: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode49/usc_sec_49_00047528----000-.html and in particular note section E, Hawaiian Operations. 737-200s can be operated on the US mainland, as Delta does, however these aircraft must be hushkitted to meet Stage III nose regulations, while Aloha's aircraft do not. The same exemption also applied to Hawaiian's DC-9-51 aircraft, which have since been replaced with 717-200s that do meet Stage III regulations. - Hawaiian717 23:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What about the image used before 21 July 2006 (1st anniversary of "7/21")?.

The more better logo design should be used on the article itself. (right) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.159.79.213 (talk • contribs) 03:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Do you feel that this logo should be used instead of the one currently on the main page, and if so, why? -- Hawaiian717 14:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
