Then go a tad more into detail about the post 9/11 world in Hawaii, the failed merger, Hawaiian's 2003 bankruptcy, Aloha's 2004 bankruptcy and the aftermath of both going into 2008. That's some fascinating reading, and it's enlightening. If you had any clue about it, you wouldn't be spouting off like you are.
As for Opakapaka, I'd say he probably forgot more than some Comair/NetJets kid now at Hawaiian ever knew.
I have nothing against Aloha at all... If you are referring to my comment about a handful of their pilots "thumping their chest" about buying out Hawaiian back in the mid 2000's.. I guess the Hawaiian pilots who told me this were flat out lying.
As far as Opakapaka, his previous posts on this thread have done nothing but confirm he holds a grudge against Hawaiian. And every statement he makes here is with the biased he has formed from his time at Aloha towards the end.
I probably won't shop for your book on Amazon concerning the post 9/11 world in Hawaii. I lived/worked through it on the mainland. Congrats you've pegged me for a Comair/Netjets guy.. Now figure out where I was at pre-9/11 or post Delta bankruptcy.
