If merger does not happen, there is little possibility that HA can continue to operate. They have too much debt and management has shown that they really do not know what they are doing.
It would also leave only SW as the only full state carrier. This would drive up inter-island fares and force everyone to the “cattle car” experience that SW offers.
Thank you gentleman for keeping us informed.
The same thing Hawaiian did when Aloha collapsed…Gouge the locals! They were the Monopoly and they took advantage of it. They even drove Island Air out of business. Ask the residents of Molokai and Lanai how they feel about Hawaiian running Island Air out of business, and then pulling out of the market…Hawaiian Nevah Care!

I think the FAA and DOJ will have to take seriously the likely collapse of Hawaiian Airlines without this merger.
What would the collapse of HA do to competition and fares??
