The good thing with GO is that they will lower air fare for inter island travel in Hawaii, thus making the revenue per passenger (RASM) lower. Once again, paycuts and furloughes will be mentioned at Aloha and Hawaiian.

It will be kinda neat to see, local aviators that live in Hawaii and want to go to work for Hawaiian or Aloha, watch as their hometown airlines falter and become shells of an airline. When the furloughes and the paycuts hit these two great airlines, JO will be proud he has gutted yet another revenue sector of air travel and many great professionals that grace the skies of the Hawaiian Islands are replaced with Mesa minimum wage jets.

Long Live Ornstein... helping pilots to become minimum wage slaves.

Don't know anything about the airline, but when/if it goes under, will the paint on the airplane GONE on the last flight?

What I had heard (from a semi-credible source, I think) is that somebody at Aloha, maybe Hawaiian, had spurned an offer of his for regional service, and JO was so irritated that he made it his mission to put whichever airline it was out of business. So my understanding is Go was set up purely out of spite, with money being no object.
