What I meant to say was that it didn't make as much money as they envisioned. I tend to agree with another poster in that DC and NY are larger metro areas with more O&D traffic than CLT generated and those passengers don't mind paying more, compared to connecting passengers. I live in the DC area and find the IAD-HNL service highly appealing, even though I could take a connecting flight for less. With that said, PHL-HNL would have probably survived, as opposed to CLT.
