A perusal of the Hawai`i-based Airlines forum would show the tawdry tale of how mendacious Mesa was in coming into the inter-island market, how they used proprietary information about other airlines to help drive one out of business (there is an $80 million judgment against them for this), and how they have hurt Hawai`i very badly while prating about how much they "love" Hawai`i.

This story -- which I think may say more about the company's operating practices than the pilots -- is scarily instructive:
