I sure hope none of the Aloha execs are related to or even know anyone associated with this weekend's Merrie Monarch. That whole abrupt shutdown, just before one of the Big Island's major annual revenue events, seems like an awfully convenient coincidence. No wonder the govt is ticked at them.

Heh, remember the dire predictions of that a few years ago before go! airlines started to shake things up? This history seems to put Aloha on the verge of bankruptcy or consolidation since the 1950s:

In a few months $200 may be just the amount of the fuel surcharge...
