Basically you can charter a Mesa CRJ for $50. Nice work guys.

Hahaha! Good one! :laugh:

Great video on that one too.

Here's a good example of the local reaction to Go.

http://www.khnl.com/Global/story.asp?S=6644053

Like I said, there is a lot of local resentment to Go's tactics. Sure some think the low fares are great, but a lot more are aware of what is going on and don't appreciate being toyed with. Hawaii is a great place, but there is an undercurrant of resentment towards "outsiders" who come here and start attacking local traditions.
Need more proof? No matter how low the fares have gone, Go still can't get a decent load factor on 4 50 seat RJ's.

Mesa pilots bring competitions to the islands! where before us, status quo was preventing island families from reuniting!!! I thought Aloha was all about family, the Ohana, if you will. What kinda airlines prevents families from reuniting? and I thought there is only one Hawaiian. Because of the prices Hawaiian set before we show up, ONE Hawaiian? Try many! Seperated, and unable to see each other. Where the other 49 states use parts of their tax to built highways and connect families. The state of Hawaii fails to do exactly that by not suplimenting the interisland cost of travel. The state govt is to be blamed, but also the two local airlines!!! If it wasnt Mesa, island families, where would you go!..?

Topdawg, you student pilot you!

NEWSFLASH: Airlines are "for-profit" enterprises, not family reunification charities.

Or they're supposed to be, anyway.

hey dum b s h i t,

If Mesa was so concenred about the poor people of Hawaii why are they screwing over the people of Utah and New Mexico? Bring back competition to Utah! What about the poor people of Gallup?

there were no less than three 121 operators and many multiple more 135 and 91 operators in Hawaii before go! showed up. Don't forget the legitimate and well liked lion coffee guy that lost his investors when go! started all the saber rattling two years ago. He would have been the 4th 121 operator.

My prediction, there would have been zero anti lion coffee websites and his passenger loads would have been much higher than 63%.

Mesa can not compete fairly. Mesa profits by creating fear, instability, and leaves a scorched Earth in their wake.

Yeah, allowing the people of Hawaii to reunite. How romantic. What you fail to mention is the disasterous effect on the state, it's families, and it's economy if Mesa were to succeed in driving one of the local airlines out of business, and it's thousands of employees into the unemployment lines. Jacka$$.

Uh gents......that was major flame bait!

Trash8 (kinda sounds like Dash 8...) may be a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket, but he's definitely pulling your chains here.
