THey lost that EAS a while back when mokulele started flying there and other places that had EAS. U can not get the grant if a airline already goes there so the new EAS may not flush. OF course the GK spin was a different story. Pacific wings fired a ops guy who went to moku with vengence and the rest is history.....
