Actually Mesa pays Mokulele for the flights as a pro-rate, Mokulele doesn't pay Mesa anything - that was part of the codeshare deal as JO desperately needed a Hawaiian carrier partner. How else do you think go! got their ticket counters?

And Mokulele is on all the GDS's - its just been a slow process to upgrade to e-ticketing, which is a requirement of the Travelocity's and Orbitz's of the world. They are on Kayak, however.

What's interesting is the former president of Mokulele, who put out the massive schedule 30 days after their announcement (most airlines announce their services 90 days out), is now at the helm of Island Air, who is on record for hating go! and blaming them solely for the demise of AQ (as if high labor costs and op costs of the 732s had nothing to do with it)
