What does this mean for Alaska? Are they going to start operating widebodys or will they replace all of hawaiians Airbuses with dreamliners like they did with virgin america? Will Hawaiian crew become Alaska crew?

Alaska Airlines has acquired Hawaiian Airlines, however they will still operate as two different airlines but under one combined company iirc. So we can expect Hawaiian to continue operating their Airbus fleet and not worry about Alaska retiring them (like they did for VA)
