The problem with that thought is that SWA is going to fly a significant portion of your customer base to HI, and then send them inter island, and many of the other legacies just fly straight to Lihue or wherever these days rather than needing a one hopper from HNL. And supposing I took x airline to Lihue or wherever and wanted a Maui excursion I’m probably just fine with taking a cheap SWA flight instead of HAL even if they butcher the local dialect and don’t serve POG.

You’re still going to have feed from others, but this is a slim profit margin industry to begin with. I’m not hoping you fail, but this isn’t some regional joining the fray. It’s the largest domestic carrier in the US. If HAL is fine then I think it will be because they altered their model significantly, partnered up or something else that’s not readily apparent. It won’t be because the cabin service with attractive Hawaiians is so nice.
