I agree with jtkauai and TheBinaryBot. Island Air is in a good position to advance. BTW, which route(s) is the Q400 running right now? I wouldn't be surprised if it transits each of the bigger airports at least once per day.

I really appreciate how Hawaii's airlines give back to the communities they serve, not only stateside but also on the mainland and abroad. Aloha sponsored events held in the Marshall Islands (when they were flying there). Also just last weekend I was at the Arizona Aloha Festival in Downtown Phoenix and guess who was the main sponsor? You guessed it, Hawaiian Airlines!!! Team Kokua was in force handing out goodies (no plane tixs, unfortunately ) and talking to people. Again, I appreciate how these airlines, literally family to some of us can give back in the ways they do, and I hope they continue these good ways.

Will Mesa be doing this in Hawaii? Hell, they don't even support programs and events here in Phoenix!!!
