Aloha Airlines earned $693,616 in the third quarter, as it returned to profitability for the first time since its proposed merger with Hawaiian Airlines was called off.http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2002/Nov/23/bz/bz02a.html

With regards to your comment about the reporting of a profit, I believe the reason that was put out there, is because of the negotiations we are in with the company. Management is being forced to show us its books for the first time. Personally, I do not trust the numbers we receive fully.
One question, why did you capitalize the mesaba 'local boy' new hire? Just curious......Where you flyin' now?
AQ PILOT said:That did kind of suprise me. I thought I had read somewhere that you were from the islands. So you're in the RJ at Mesa. Tell me you're based in PHX...I have a great friend out there that flies the RJ out of there as a Capt. And I do think having the 'local' connection helps, obviously, but it sure isn't a requirement! Good luck getting on. We are gonna be doing some serious hiring from what I've been told....
AQ PILOT said:Personally, I see a doubling in the size of our fleet in the 2 years....so another 5 aircraft in '04. That is only my guess..and that with $5 will get you a cup of coffee downtown. Most of what I hear is only rumors, although from time to time I do swing into ops and ask a few questions....
Freight Dog-
