I clearly see the difference in airlines, but a tiny part of me thinks there wasn't as much foul play in HI as everyone said. I think Aloha was struggling to begin with (before JO even knew where HI was), and its been convenient to place the blame on us since they've gone under. I am by no means saying we didn't have a hand in Aloha's failure, but I find it hard to believe our 5 CRJ's brought down an entire airline.

I was simply making an arguement that this is a tough industry, and the competition (now more than ever as we all struggle to make money) is fierce.
I think judge Faris and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Hawaii might have a slightly differing opinion as this. It was HAL, not Aloha, that put forth the lawsuit and won. Aloha's suit is still pending.
