Hawaiian Airlines is about the size VA was when we bought them and they operate 5 fleet types.
$250 isn't much in the grand scheme of my life, but if I can find a way to save that much annually, I'll do it.
The two airlines might be similar in size, but they're not the same. What makes sense for Alaska (or Southwest, for that matter) may not apply to Hawaiian, which serves both the local market and areas outside that, which are all 4+ hours away.
