So there will be an overnight loyalty to Mokulele if they hire so many locals. My guess is if they only do interisland flying then perhaps even Hawaiian may code share with them and just do mainland Hawaii flights. (though that is just a guess) Sad part is that I heard that many if not most of the Go! pilots are not even locals. I think Karma has a lot to do with this, if Mesa just did what RAH did or would have just bought Hawaiian/Aloha they would have been in good shape and dominated HI. I say all this is because I lived there and my family lives there.
