Re: Aloha Airlines Poll

Hard to say without knowning what kind of help the State of Hawaii plans to do with Aloha Airlines.

I guess it would be okay if the state provided some kind of assistance to the employees who lost their job because this?

Would it be okay if the State of Hawaii took a couple of 737 and some employees to run it's own jet service for offical state business use, sort like Air Force One and call it Hawaii Jet One?

Give them some cash to let them run for another month or two? A year? A loan?

Re: Aloha Airlines Poll

If that's the case, why shouldn't the State bail out ALL businesses that don't make it?

Re: Aloha Airlines Poll

Government bailouts have been known to work, for the long-term benefit of the nation, as with Chrysler in the eighties. I don't think Aloha is as vital to Hawaii as Chrysler was to the country, but if others do, I guess I can live with it. I voted "I don't care."

Maybe it's time for the State to start up it's own interisland system and call their planes ThePlane.

A public poll? No can vote anonymously?

Yes! An interisland system named "ThePlane"!! That gets my vote!!

Re: Aloha Airlines Poll

Unless Go!'s predatory pricing can be neutralized, then there's really nothing that the state can do to help Aloha in the long run.

Unless the court case against Go! can be expedited, I don't see any point in a short-term fix.

I have no problems with helping out the unemployed.

It's too late for Aloha. Passenger operations closed. Auction off the assets and move on.
