As long as you’re asking… I just talked to an HNL based UAL FA who commutes interisland on SWA. She said that their FAs told her that they are opening a FA base in HNL and possibly a pilot base if they can get concurrence from SWAPA. What I’ve heard and what I believe are entirely different things of course!

The ticket prices are a nice change. When my daughter’s AS SAN-HNL-SAN got canceled last week I was able to get her SWA for $500 vs HAL asking $2000. Not sure where the perception of arrogance comes in. Your mention is the first I’ve heard of it. I hang with a lot of HAL guys and hadn’t heard that but honestly they’re just more interested in when the next swell is gonna hit.

Interesting times…
