This is going to be a serious problem for WN. Lack of backup aircraft and crew, no interline agreements with other carriers and lack of effective IRROPS handling mean that people need to hedge WN tickets to the Islands with platinum-plated travel interruption coverage. Not much different than people who book long-haul on DY are finding in IRROPS. The cheaper ticket is not necessarily the less expensive trip.
