Continental to fly direct LAX &SFO to Hilo

[robguz]

I'm concerned that the SFO flight is set up to fail, at least if it's meant to serve Bay Area vacationers. Once a week isn't much of an option. Why would someone fly this to Hilo and lose a day of vacation arriving in the late afternoon when you can fly another airline through HNL for cheaper and still have most of the day free by the time you arrive in Hilo? A lot of people find red eyes awful. I'd only do one if it was much cheaper than other options. I hope it succeeds, but with that expected pricing, ouch!
