If it is indeed a merger, I think this would mean that United frequent flyers would be most affected, as Hawaiian would be the "captain" of this merger, and the Aloha/United partnership would fall by the way-side in favor of the Hawaiian/American, Hawaiian/Northwest, Hawaiian/Continental etc. partnerships.

Too bad....5000 UA MP miles for an Aloha inter-island flight is a great deal -- would hate to see it go.
