Being born and raised in Hawaii, I understand the attachment that folks have with the "Aloha" Airlines name. Being a "home grown" and, locally operated airline means alot to us locals. This airline's history spans 4 decades of safe, reliable service to the islands as well as mainland (US) operations. This is no small feat, and one which many here take tremendous personal pride in.
Folks here understand business, we also understand that the airline industry is very competitive place to work. But we also know that the circumstances that the Airline failed was due to unethical (illegal) business practices which the court system ruled against Mesa. Mesa, operating under the "Aloha" name would be an abomination to folks here. You'd better believe that every effort will be made to prevent Mesa from acquiring the "Aloha" brand. In any event, I predict that "Go-Aloha" won't succeed here in the long run and the name of "Aloha" will return to us sooner than you think.
