ATL is doing just fine. It’s about 50 percent bigger than it was a couple of years ago. SWA didn’t initially have the O/E traffic to make ATL work with PTP flying. Now it’s a busy station with full loads. I am no SWA fanboy, but ATL is a poor comparison tool.

Name me a airline flying around with less than a 86% load factor. Plenty of folks to go around. SW is not the boogie man.

Surprised I haven't seen the south park "they're taking our jobs" meme?

I really don't see southwest making much of an impact.

Plenty of pax to go around. This is about AS in California and using SWA rewards points to connect to their feed out to the islands.

Let’s face it. The Hawaii market needs another interisland carrier. HA been gouging the locals for years now. The locals have no allegiance to anyone or anything but Mr Green $$$$$

Nobody wanted to fly on Island Air, even if they were a little cheaper. People choose schedule over price.

Mokulele flies Carvans. No comparison.
What Hawaii needs is a better run Island Air. Just big enough to keep others out and prices reasonable. Who knows. Maybe HA will realize the best competitor they ever had was WP.
