Which airline is more vaxed. We all know that's the most important.
We at Hawaiian stopped that spread in it's tracks through science and a 34 yr old HR type from Portland State University.
I only wish Hawaiian would have demanded a mandate all the way up to the 5th shot. Can't believe they stopped at the first 2. Stupid Republican CEO and COO.

All kidding aside. Thoroughly enjoy getting a SWA boarding pass an hour prior to departure. Eases stress. If only Hawaiian gate agents were as accommodating. Also enjoy having food options in your hub airports. BK is about the best we got in Hawaii.

I cant decide if it’s sad or funny. You sure you talking about SWA management?

We have the best parades. I know United engaged their full Tranny wokeness, and Hawaiian paraded around a bearded dude in a rainbow dress, dancing with kids. Don't recall my buddies sending me any SWA material?
I'm sure Hawaiian will start making money in Japan real, real soon. (sarcasm detector engaged)

I get why HAL pilots are obsessed with SWA (existentially threatening). It’s unclear after your own admission of how insignificant Hawaii is to SWA that both you and SMF are obsessed. You guys on Frontier bashing them? Get your jollies taunting weaker competitors?
We do have somethings you don’t got. We’re able to fly one stage a day and can get 95 hours and record no landings if we want it. The rest of the seniority list (717/321) is home 365 days out of the year. There’s value in that. Paychecks and balance sheets aside, people pick their bed and lay in it.

In any case, I don't want to see you guys fail. In fact, I want to see you guys lead or at least match the industry leaders. You live and work in one of the most expensive parts of the country, and I hope you don't settle for subpar contract on account of "lucky we live Hawaii", however, concerned by your fleet variety and inefficiencies due to economies of scale, but that's the bean counter problem. If they don't have a problem with it, I say good deal... wish we had some variety here.
Our WB guys still make more in the paycheck too. You are spot on and I think what's killing the luv here. The True fanboys over at SW just can't comprehend why we are so happy here. HA is far from perfect and I am one of the most vocal gripers on the line. But I'd still take this place over SW any day.
Sorry fan boys... HA was here long before you, and we'll be long after you. You can poke us, make fun of us, and even hurt us. But we won't be going anywhere. That picture of the mouse flipping off the eagle comes to mind. All in good rivalry run.

As for the fanboy comments... I explained it above. I truly am a fan. I really like your flying and your choices of aircraft at Hawaiian. So yeah, I am a fan. I'm not as big of a fan of a 737, but in the end, it's all about the numbers for me and where I want to live. Probably same with you. I am stoked that you're happy and I truly wish more people in this career were actually happy and showed up to work happy. I don't think any Southwest pilot wonders why you're happy there. Dude, you work for Hawaiian Airlines.... you can live in Hawaii if that's your thing and not commute. You SHOULD be happy! Friendly ribbing and good rivalry should rule the day. Occasional smack talk is cool and should be taken as nothing more than fun. If one can't take it, it should be their own problem. I personally chuckled when we had that big shark hanging on the wall with SWA color tail chasing smaller fish painted like Hawaiian and Alaska. It was taken down because some people got butthurt over it. I think that was BS. I know had I been at Hawaiian or Alaska, something like that would only motivate me more... but I guess it's far easier to cry someone's feelings got hurt and what's worse, us actually taking it down. Oh well...
Bottom line, it's all in good fun. Keep on talking smack from time to time and we'll respond in kind, and know it's just friendly rivalry. However... push come to shove, I know we would all happily walk your picket line with you supporting you.
