If I was HA, I would fight tooth and nail to not give up the Makai Pier gates. Seems like Island Air and Mokulele had lofty goals that couldn't pan out without lots of money. Move them to the Central or Diamond Head Concourse. Or better yet, move them to the main terminal and do what AA did at LAX for American Eagle flights and build a bare bones commuter terminal and bus passengers from the main terminal to the commuter terminal. They can convert some of the hardstands next to the Diamond Head Concourse for this. That was where the original commuter terminal was going to be anyway.
The way I read that, HA seems to be more concerned with fitting WP and MW into Lobby 2/3 than they were finding a place for them at the Makai Pier. If that's really the problem, then perhaps WP and MW could checkin at Lobby 5, while Alaska moves over to Lobby 6 to colocate with merger partner Virgin America.
