If you want to buy round-trip for same day travel out and back, you can get each leg at $19 on Go! All-in = $49.80. This is $2 less than HA.
If you buy a round-trip with overnight stay, you can get 1 flight at $1 and the return flight at $19 for an all-in round-trip price of $31.80, $20 less than HA's sale.
We get your point, and it's interesting that you can get the one-way for $24.90 on go!. I think most here would consider $1-2 difference still "the same". Aloha's roundtrips on this sale are $.04 cheaper than HA's. That's just academic, too. Whoever has the best flight times for a persons needs would be more important, yes? In other words, I'd only fly go! if I couldn't make AQs and HAs flight times work. Thankfully I haven't been forced to do that yet(although had two close calls)
The point at which I fly go! over AQ(free 500 UA miles per segment even on sale fares) or HA (comfort) is alot more than $1-2.
