Huh?
I think he's referring to the controversial go! airline.
Aloha
He is, but the fuel prices added to the bleeding, Air Cargo and Mainland Flights were profitable, Inter island was the straw that broke the back. A friends husband is involved, the "GO" Situation is a touchy situation with them. Less than a month ago a GO flight missed the big island because the pilot was asleep, over 30 min. Was in Hawaii papers when it happened. There's More but I think what I was told was confidential, so for more read the news reports, as the investigations continue.

"Go!" was fined $80 million for using confidential advertising practices specifically used by Hawaiian and Aloha. Go! is run by Mesa Airlines and has a CEO named Jonathan Ornstien. He's been banned from being a stock broker due to insider trading. Somehow now he runs and airline and wants nothing more than to bust the labor unions. He should be in jail. On another note, Delta Air Lines just announced they are going to end their Mesa flying contract with all their ERJ's out of JFK and Orlando. Mainly due to such poor performance by Mesa for their Delta Connection flying.

In NM, we used to have Mesa airlines. Sadly, its poor performance led to its' downfall. It used 19 seat airplanes. Right now, USAirways are using Mesa for its Phoenix hub, with more modern airplanes such as 50 seat Canadiair regional jets.
