Bottom line is that if they actually show up in CRJs, they're going to find that there's almost no gate space at OGG and HNL. All three carriers out here are struggling to fill airplanes (and we've only got 37 seats for god's sake)
Island Air's had trouble finding pilots over the past couple of years so if Mesa comes and doesn't offer more $$ (which is apparently doubtful), they'd better bring a chartered 767 full of pilots from the mainland with them.

2. Mesa will get pilots the same way Eagle gets pilots for "the rock" they get assigned it during new hire class or displaced to it during furloughs.
3. I hope the Mesa MEC is on top of this. Hopefully they have the opportunity to negotiate some work rules or the Mesa pilots that come out here are going to be hurting. 1 hour would probably be the longest possible leg time. imagine taking 12 hours to get 5 hours of pay...that's what it's like flying in Hawaii. I would bet on 10 leg days and 12 day off months for line holders that come from Mesa to Hawaii.
