Driving to work just now I heard on Hawaii Public Radio that "approximately 1,800" employees will be impacted by the cessation of passenger service. I don't know whether AQ even had the full 3,482 any more, but this sounds sensible, figuring that as cargo operations continue, they will need crew for those flights, cargo handlers, mechanics, etc.
