Are Go! pilots on the MAG seniority list? Will the pilots go with the planes or are people going to be furloughed because of this?

Go! Pilots are on the MAG seniority list. The article says Mesa will continue to operate the planes, so why would you think there will be furloughs?

Conventional wisdom has always been that there is room for only 2 inter-island carriers in Hawaii.

Thanks to consolidation and bankruptcy, 'Hawaiian' and the new 'Island Air' are now the 2 players.

What could go wrong?

They're on the list. Once you finish your checkride you go thru a week or 2 of differences training for the CRJ 200 in case a pilot get displaced to Hawaii.
