None of us are financial wizards, but I think HA will be ok. Sure we’ll lose a little west coast and interisland traffic. But until you see DL, AA, UA, B6, KE, JL, etc. flight numbers on WN interisland flights, we’ll continue to fly the bulk of the load. There is a reason that the other legacies have never flown interisland, the margins just aren’t worth it. It’s not that you can’t make a profit, but dedicating the iron to a lower margin route is not a good business practice. Our west coast fares are almost never the cheapest, far from it. But people continue to fly with us, so there must be something to our cabin service that people like. It certainly isn’t my award winning PAs.
