Possibly, but it's only a few thousand seats per year. Mokulele will have to go after Hawaiian to be profitable.

Perhaps because Frontier has plans to have RAH serve the area out of DEN?

No it's for testing. One of our guy's wife works the tower there and she confirmed it. Says there's a bung of measuring equipment hanging all over it.

what was that give them enough cash to keep operating for a few more months while they reorganize their buisness? not to continously beat a dead horse but there is not one other regional out there that wouldnt have done what republic did. yes it sucks for pilots both regional and mainline. the problem is some where mainline managment decided it was ok to subcontract work to other people.
