SWAPA needs to do some serious education on this. No relief on scope.
CPA’s are expensive and only work if you truly create many banks of flights. SWA has more nonstops domestically(75%) than any other carrier. A very small percentage of connections. SWA is a p2p and will be for the foreseeable future. RJ’s, especially below 100 seats, is not financially viable. Hence why you haven’t seen a CPA in Hawaii. There is a sweet spot financially for those birds but not under the current business model that SWA has.
