Actually I flew in one and it was quite nice --- 1 x 1 seating in comfortable blue leather seats and huge TV monitors in front of the cabin.. the pilot showed some cool videos on them. I'm told they are going to start putting up informational videos on all the islands. Oh, and a quick side note, WP cancelled a few flights from JHM that day due to a mechanical (or two), my flight was full (some people bought seats that were on the WP flt), and people were all over the airport, some had been there for 3 hours. I feel bad for them. Rob needs to cave in and at least get an interline agreement with Mesa to protect his own passengers, just as United and other airlines have with everyone else...

Also they did a "fly by" along the cliffs / park at Molokai, which I guess they have permission to do.. kinda felt like one of those $300 air tours I saw advertised at the desk in the Hyatt.... and I got it for $59!

I've also been hearing rumblings that go! and Delta have been getting in some discussions... but no word.. this could also explain why DL hasn't signed on HA or AQ as an inter-island partner.
