Furlough Friday coming back

Here's the approach the other airlines are taking. Once the airlines drop these cities it could be years before they restart. Have fun swimming to the mainland.

As part of the CARES Act air service requirements, Hawaiian, Alaska, American, and United have put in requests to DOT to completely suspend service to some Hawaii airports, or in the case of Hawaiian, mainland cities they have served.
In the case of the United request, they're looking to completely remove their cities from their schedule through to October regardless of what's what with COVID-19. Beyond cutting off residents and tourists, it also cuts off the ability for Hawaii farms/companies to export fresh fruit/produce/fish and other perishable cargo out via air.
