I was watching the news all day yesterday about the shut down of Aloha Airlines. I just felt sad. I don't even fly Aloha anymore, I normally book my flights on Hawaiian, but I grew up with Aloha Airlines. My family did most of their travel on Aloha Airlines while I was growing up. I've always loved the airport environment and when you are a child, the experience is 100 more exciting. I remember waiting in line to get on an Aloha flight just so I could get a seat next to a window behind the wing where I would have a good view of their jet engines. I have great memories of Aloha Airlines. I hope somehow, someway they are able to make a come back. I have this frustration and anger toward go! airlines and its company, especially the way they moved in with huge financial backing to do just this. Job well done! Hopefully Aloha wins their lawsuit against go! and can bounce back. If not, I wish best of luck to all of Aloha's employees. One thing I can say is that I will never fly go!, never.

I agree with you, I will never fly go! - and I never have. Like the t-shirt says, "Go is not a Hawaiian airline. Mesa has no aloha."
I, too, watched all the news coverage. Odd as it was, I was overcome with grief and sadness watching all of it. I haven't flown on Aloha in almost 10 years, but I was considering flying to Maui (on Hawaiian) and flying back to Oahu on Aloha for that final flight. I guess it was a desire to be part of history - the ending of an era, really.
