The daily negative press ALG got on the local news, both TV and radio when they would strand pax for up to a WEEK in HNL really undid any advertising campaign they tried. It was a serious drumbeat of another ALG horror story after another in the local press when they began service to Hawaii. There are some strong links to HAL in HNL, so some bad press was to be expected, but ALG continually fed them with "Plane cancelled to EUG, next avail flight, next WEEK!".
