United pulling out of Hilo

[ChunksterK]

Southwest recently cut back on their Hawaii to mainland service and started an interisland fare war with Hawaiian. That sorta tells me that they're not planning to add any Hilo to mainland flights. The Frau and I used the United flight on a fairly regular basis, and honestly would have paid more for the convenience than they charged. Oh well, now East Hawaii is back to being a backwater in every conceivable way.
