go! back to Arizona
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.

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.

Is that negative $39? I just may buy a ticket so I can get $39 of JO's money

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.

Exactly.
(Well, except that it's pilots are ALPA, and it's flight attendants are AFA, and they're not being started up to bust another inhouse cerfiticate, and they're selling their own tickets, and just about a billion other things that make them exactly NOT like freedom.)
Man, you guys hate Mesa no matter what it does. You know, this board kinda reminds me of that Star Trek Episode (TTNG, for you geeks out there . . . guilty) where Worf dosen't believe that the immortal alien "Q" has lost his powers and is now mortal.
"Q" (to Worf): "What do I have to do to convince you that I'm mortal like you?"
Worf: (to Q): "Die."

Hireing req.
Mommy and Daddy willing to keep supporting your dumb A$$ after you have already spent $100,000 of there money going to college. You know, how do these kids have so little sense of pride to have this conversation with there parents.
Kid: Mom, Dad, I know I have blown $100,000 of your money living on the beach for the last 4 years. I understand you didn't plan on spending that much, and I am destroying your retirement accounts. I am really selfish and have SJS so I am going to go live in Hawaii makeing $18,000 a year. As we both know it will cost at least $40,000 a year to live there so if you could just send me a check for $2,000 on the first of every month that would be great.
What the parents should say: GO! to hell
If more parents would say no, the industry would be a lot different.
