No, not at all. My point was simply that the small size of the airline and their even smaller presence in the Hawaiian market makes them less likely to have alternatives available to their passengers when things go wrong. Given that this is Alaska's last flight of the day out of Kona to ANY destination (as opposed to other airlines who have redeyes to LAX and SFO and the like), it is a risky flight to take. Other airlines with larger flight choices in this market might have been able to get a replacement crew there more quickly.
