GO Hawaii updates

[JTrain]

Any updates on how the operation is going?

I have heard about how Hawaiian is challenging GO in court. I'm just curious and would welcome any perspectives from people who've dealt with GO in one capacity or another.

85%+ load factors for June.

99% on time.

So they say, anyway. One of many problems with "Go! Airlines" is that is in fact "Mesa Airlines", and there is simply no way to tell how the infentesimally small "Go!" portion is really doing. Mesa can bury bad $$$ news in with the other 98% of it's business, which is obscenely profitable (not that it does ANY of the employees any good, beyond job security, which in the airlines, is always an illusion, at best)

I can tell you the reserve crews in HNL are f-ing miserable sitting in the airport 6 days in a row, 10 hours a day with nothing to do, (2 days off, repeat)

Do I care either way? No. So don't get your panties in a bunch. (You know who you are.) Just trying to shed some light on the darkness.

Do I care either way? No.

And you don't care to the tune of 3 paragraphs.

And you don't care to the tune of 3 paragraphs.

Paragraphs? Aren't those supposed to be a well constructed series of sentences starting with a topic sentence, supporting details, and a closing sentence?

I thought I was doing my normal disconnected rambling!

From what I saw on 2 flights, all the seats were taken. I think they might just succeed. As far as mesalies.com those guys don't have a life, it's called capitalism. No idiot is going to support an airline because it's their home airline, the're going to support the one with the cheapest tickets.

Yeah, real hard to sell tickets and fill seats at that price.

Yeah, but that's a nice airport to sit in - I like the wall-less terminal. Nice and breezy...

Mmmuuuuwaaahahahahahah!!!!

Reversesensing, congrats on your 500th post.....

By the way, go's ticket prices are creeping up there with everyone else. The locals won't keep flying them if they're not $19.

85% load factor on a 50 seat aircraft selling 39$ fares isn't that impressive. Anyway, the load factor on all 3 airlines out here have been high. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060710/lam124.html?.v=50
