What's your logic then? Non-rhetorical question.
I’m saying that the “hometown-ness” of an airline in Hawaii is extremely far from the WH’s calculus. They have hawaii sewn up, they don’t need to pander, and will suffer ZERO electorally.
the merger might or might not go through, but it won’t be for fear of hurting their chances in HI.
