I’ll stir the pot.

Is this rumor circulating with you guys too? We’ve been hearing it for a little while now…

there’s a lot of rumors that circulate at Hawaiian, but that’s a new one for me.

It was mentioned in their forum. It's confirmed they wanted the Amazon 330 flying but need more time before they would be ready to start ops

Both airlines serve leisure travelers

That's about where the similarities end.

There is a reason ULCC carriers don't come to Hawaii. Minimum seat pitch with slimline and no recline seats (F9, NK, G5) do not come on a 6 hour flight to Hawaii. It didn't work for G5. WN flights are really pushing it but at least there you have recline and a regular seat.

While sun country is profitable the fleet types are different. It might work. But it's got to be a long ways off. I see nothing but pilot speculation.

I rode on sun country once. They served hot dogs, like boiling water containers full of hot dogs. I ate two. The whole cabin smelled horrible but there were glizzys so it wasn’t that bad. It’s safe to say it’s about the opposite cultures for airlines and if we had to merge I’d pray to baby Jesus it wouldn’t be sunny. I mean no offense

Now why does Jesus have to be a baby? He was a grown man for Pete's sake!

Thought it was Mesa? There will be another 330 Amazon operator and some point and they definitely won’t be merging. Defeats the purpose. I’d guess Alaska or JetBlue (if Spirit falls through), but not for another decade or so.

No more hot dogs on Sunny. Haven’t been for years! It’s a totally different product now. Don’t pray too hard, baby Jesus doesn’t oversee airline mergers.

Lol this is FA’s selling it on their own, not the actual airline. They boil them in the coffee pots and go around selling them to pax and pocket the cash

In light of the JetBlue/Spirit merger, this leaves Frontier. I’ve heard that Barry (the CEO) comes in the new hire classes and boasts on the amount of cash they have and that they’re able to buy whomever they want…
