Doesn't matter GK (the fat one) will find some way to get out of the fine and make it seem like it was the airport securities fault.

I love how everything is always spun. There's a quote in one news article about how the agent was trying to grab their 'video camera' and got hurt in the process.

How many airlines keep video cameras at their ticket counters or maintenance facilities?!?!

Ever since the first encounter with Wackenhut in 2005 they record everything, and I mean everything!

Why am I completely unsurprised to read this report? ....Oh right.....

While I generally wish no harm to come to any person, I hope whatever "confrontation" occurred between security, and ticket agent L. Nowacky had some karma (for her role in the mass terminations on 1/31/09) in it.

And if memory serves, PW bleeds it's liquid cash when they can't fly.

I really feel for the residents of Kalaupapa, who are now without transportation to the rest of the state. I hope that the village can arrange for a competitor to fly the route until service is restored, of PW fails.

And now they're cutting flights
 
Looks like we know where they are getting the airframes to fly to OWB/MKL now...

Pacific Wings Cutting Flights & Employees | KGMB9 News Hawaii | (KGM

Pacific Wings Airlines is eliminating as many as two thirds of its inter-island flights and plans to layoff or relocate some of its roughly 100 workers. Company owner and C.E.O. Greg Kahlstorf told KGMB9 the moves are the result of an alleged assault on one of his employees.

LOL! It's amazing how the media always manages to get the oldest stock footage of airlines. Even for crappy commuter ones like pacwings.....
