Hawaiian doesn't restrict code shares because most of them benefit THEM. Ours is a prime example. Why fly JFK-RDU or JFK-CLT when you can code share with jetBlue to do it and still just fly JFK-HNL? Your costs don't increase, but your revenue does. Alaska is more or less in the same situation.
Honestly, codeshare restrictions should be the next scope battle or we're all going to see a lot of the routes "American Carrier Airlines, operated by European Codeshare." We need code share resrictions here to keep us from going into an "alliance" type agreement with another domestic carrier(s) rather than "growing organically."
Thanks for telling me nothing of any importance.
I said DL, UAL, AA, Alaska and Hawaiian all have significant codesharing. I also said ALPA doesn't prevent codesharing (read the first sentence again).
How are EITHER of those statements incorrect???
I want a CBA, but we WILL have codesharing in a CBA, just as EVERY other carrier (all union, most ALPA) that I named above.
