    Do you have a source for the Hawaiian A330 Starlink schedule? Or a list of tail numbers with the Starlink gear operational? I’ve been looking for info on that (since I’m flying on those next month) and haven’t seen anything about progress.

    • Source is confirmation from the company’s CorpComm team. I do not, however, have a full list of the tails installed. Your odds are better than 50/50 next month, but not 100%.
