This mornings Honolulu Advertiser and Star Bulletin are announcing Mesa's new airline name is "go!" This big announcement was supposed to include details of a new codeshare with mesa and USAir or United. This big announcement was also supposed to detail mesa's new local Hawaiian investors. Are we supposed to be still holding our breath or was all the drama for the months leading up to this big announcement just more fear mongering from mesa's ceo? The fear mongering continues with this quote from the mesa ceo. "Even if we fly empty, we could fly five years on the profits the rest of our company makes in one year." Lets see you go! empty for 6 months JO. ("JO", Jonathan Ornstiens initials, is how mesa employees associate their ceo's sociopathic ways to the murderous celebrity OJ Simpson.)
I still dont think mesa will start up in June. There are too many hurdles still for them to overcome. The least of which is what gates they will use? Mesa is still "negotiating with the state Department of Transportation for office space and terminal facilities at the Honolulu and Neighbor Island airports". Our two local airlines better not count on anything. It's time for both our local airlines to get with the program and hit mesa hard.
Also of particular interest is the fact that go! is a complete rip off of European carrier "Easy Jet's" old logo and advertising campaign. Click Here for a photo of one of the original "GO" airplanes on airliners.net

Mesa couldn't have ripped off Go airlines anymore without actually stealing their aircraft! Ripping off the name GO is bad enough but mesa also now rips off how they use their name to make a bunch of mottos ("go and say hi" "go have fun", "go explore", "were going your way", "ready set go", "go anywhere", etc)

FURTHERMORE, The go! mesa website is also a complete rip off of Spirit Airlines website. Right down to the html codes.

still pretty cheap and a rip off in principle. What airline wait -- wait -- wait what other company on earth just fukcing dittos some other companies website?

No expense spared huh? Love the font for the logo too. They must have stayed up real late one night and voted on that one.

All that means is that their domains are registered with the same registrar - Network Solutions, Inc.

It's probably the #1 domain registration company - that in of itself means nothing.

If the technical contacts were the same I'd say they used the same web company. Just looking through the code briefly iflygo.com has some amateurish type things which spirit's doesn't have. My opinion - RIP OFF.

(sorry for the cluttered data)
