Yes, Pam, I have flown the 777 from the East Coast to Europe, but I'm not aware of which, if any, airlines fly it to Hawaii. I know that Delta, Continental, USAir, Hawaiian, and AA do not. Maybe United?
Bullwinkle, I am not a big Airbus fan, either, but the A330s that Delta picked up in the Northwest merger are comfy for the passengers and loaded with entertainment features other former NW aircraft totally lack. Some people question their safety after the Air France velocity indicator disaster, and some pilots don't like their reliance on "fly by wire" technology. Delta uses A330s between Honolulu and Atlanta as well as Minneapolis-St.Paul.
Cheers,
Jerry
