With all the international expansion in the last few years between Japan, Korea, Australia and New Zealand, you would think they might be a huge target for merger/acquisition? What do you think?
You're just trying to piss off Dan Roman, aren't you? :laugh:

New Fare Structure, Expanded Fleet Aimed at Kama'aina Customer
HONOLULU, July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --*****Hawaiian Airlines today implemented a new fare structure for neighbor island travel that lowers ticket prices across all of its fare classes from 4 to 25 percent.

The new rates, which are available for booking today on www.HawaiianAir.com, are designed to stimulate increased kama'aina travel.
Under the new fare structure, the lowest fare for a one-way nonstop interisland flight (including taxes and mandatory federal fees) is $65 for travel from Honolulu to Kahului and Lihu'e.
The new structure's three lowest fares from Honolulu to Kahului, Lihu'e, Hilo and Kona are all lower than the previously published lowest web fare (see chart below).
In addition, the airline's parent company, Hawaiian Holdings, has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire turbo-prop aircraft with the aim of establishing a subsidiary carrier to serve routes not currently in Hawaiian's neighbor island system.
"We are committed to providing safe, frequent and reliable service that allows our residents to travel more easily between all the islands, and we believe the additional capacity and new fares will encourage that," said Peter Ingram, Hawaiian's executive vice president and chief commercial officer.
The new fare structure complements the additional neighbor island capacity and routes Hawaiian introduced earlier this year. Over the past year, Hawaiian has increased capacity by 13 percent and created a Maui hub to increase service between the Valley Isle, Kaua'i and Hawai'i Island. The turbo-prop subsidiary will allow Hawaiian to further expand capacity with daily flights to rural areas.
Hawaiian has offered "Hawaiian Saver" fare sales over the last several months as a way to test customer response to a variety of pricing options, explained Ingram. The Hawaiian Saver fare, which has some restrictions, proved to be attractive to highly cost-conscious travelers. As a result, Hawaiian Saver fares will now anchor the airline's fare structure as a restricted "guaranteed lowest available fare." All other base fares have also been reduced to provide attractive pricing throughout the day on all of Hawaiian's 170 daily neighbor island flights.
"By offering a greater variety of pricing options across our flight schedule every day we hope to make it easier for people to take the extra trip they might not have taken if the lower fares weren't available," said Ingram. "Having said that, it will always be true that the best value is available to those who book early on HawaiianAir.com, and we encourage all of our customers to do that."
Maybe the question should be.....
Who is Hawaiian going to buy?
Island Air?? This could be one salvo in a negotiation process.
Our scope already allows a wholly owned feeder with restrictions.Hawaiian regional, hmmm! Keep it on the same seniority list guys, learn from the mistakes of others
If I was at Hawaiian I would pray that it was anbody but southwest.
Our scope already allows a wholly owned feeder with restrictions.
- Turboprop 69 seats or less, 69k lbs MTOW
- No reduction to 717 inter-island block hours
- At least 29,000 717 block hours in any 12 consecutive months
- No furloughs of any Hawaiian pilots due to feeder inter-island flying
- No flying on the major city pairs the 717s fly (HNL-LIH, HNL-ITO, HNL-KOA, and HNL-OGG)
- If there are furloughed Hawaiian pilots due to other reasons, they get first interview/hire at the feeder.
Ok, so you allow turboprops, which a Q400 is THE perfect A/C for interisland feed...I see the 71's heading to DAL since someone's finally interested in them. If the pilots are on a different seniority list, then what? I know, I know, "the contract doesn't allow for that" but why would your contract ever let them do it? I'm sure we'll hear from DR, but anyone else there got SN opinion on that? And you would almost have to have the pay be on HAL's payscale in order to afford to live there, otherwise you'll never get (or keep) experienced guys to stay because of the cost of living. Does the HAL contract allow the new operation to codeshare with other ops.? I'm sure everyone going out there is interested in a "new" commuter. Where could these possibly be going that the 717 can't handle? (do they (the government) offer EAS service between any remote spots?
Discuss!

we have a good common sense scope that allows for turboprop feed on the routes were turboprops make sense. .
