this "we've gotta raise fares because of rising "fuel cost"" rings hallow for me...how many bags do ya wanna check?

In recent years the costs have leveled off but look at 2007 when Go started here.The fuel costs have doubled and that coupled with the fact that they are flying 50 seat airplanes is the reason they are leaving.I can't believe they are redeploying the airplanes.They will make even less money on mainland routes.

Delta has grounded most if not all 50 seat RJs and replaced them with 90 seat RJs and now the 717s that they bought from Southwest.

The bigger problem facing us here in Hawaii is going to be full flights.You will have to plan well in advance to even get a seat let alone a cheap fare.
