The standard bean counter explanation is HNL is a leisure market and is saturated with frequent flier award seats, hence low revenue. The Harvard Business School graduates from the late 80's and early 90's are absolutely obsessed with costs at ALL costs. This management style has worked it's way into almost all of corporate America, they know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
Long term planning in corporate America is as abundant as spotted owls.
