They had to slash ANC to OGG frequency to get it though.
Isn't that characterization a little unfair? Do you really think that the airline wouldn't increase routes if they were sustainable?
The fact is that population of the state of Alaska is about equivalent to that of North Dakota, and they are spread out over a lot more land space. I'm guessing AK has a heck of a lot more jet service than ND does.
