I'm sure the Q would work well in Hawaii

The Q400 works well in any market that is short enough but still needs more seats than your average RJ and better fuel burn.

So yes it would work well in Hawaii.

Any word about any of this from your side of the fence?

It would seem like it would work well, in which I agree. Island Air didn't have any luck with the Q400 out there. I think the capacity is too much for the islands (running a "regional route") A Q300 would possibly be better.

Loads are at least 95% on the 170, at least the routes I fly. I can't speak for the 190 or Airbus. When did you check the flights? Anything on short notice will be a high ticket price.

Also,

whoever wrote this:

"As a RAH pilot, I could care less about the addition or subtraction of a single destination. I'm tired of the LYNX sob stories.. the reality is that people were booking away from your beloved Q400 and booking on an RJ. And while I'm at, where do you guys get off thinking that you deserve anything other than a staple to the bottom. Probably 90% of the people at RAH have been on the list since before LYNX even existed. Not to mention that LYNX has brought absolutely nothing to the table."

I hope you are enjoying all the former Lynx route structures.

Although this thread has remained quite civil, the initial poster was definitely flaming away. You have no need to post such garbage.

Thanks for noticing.... whose the flamer now? Are you trying to relight the ashes?

That's exactly what Lynx did.
