I wonder how many of these comments or who wrote the article work for Hawaiian Airlines. I wonder is this will get past sensors. 39$ inter island fares sure have ruffled some feathers. I do agree that seat should be assigned. Thank you
I’m not sure why Hawaiians would want or need yet another airline to bring people in from the mainland. I would never fly SWA in these times. Not to mention the great point about no long distance overwater routes, experience?
My first experience on Southwest Airlines two weeks ago did not go very good. There were three of us going to the Kaneohe Bay Airshow from Maui on the first flight. After we boarded on schedule the depart time came and went. After about 30 minutes, the boarding agent came on the loudspeaker and said “sorry but our system has crashed and we don’t have a proper manifest”. Poor choice of words when we were already assuming something was wrong with the plane. Their open seating system came back to bite them as they had no clue who was sitting where or exactly who was on the plane. Finally a list was generated and the agents came down the aisle asking every passenger what their name is. After over an hour of confusion we were on our way.
When SW airplane skidded off the runway at Midway a 6 year boy was killed when the plane hit vehicles on the road outside the airport. They lucked out when the plane went off the runway at Burbank. The plane could have skidded into a gas station and perhaps onto the road.
Those were literally 18 and 22 YEARS ago.
