I hope that's not true. They were the best....nice 737s.

But then again, that could be why they're going out business. Those things are slightly expensive to replace and keep running. I'd say the increase in fuel prices and the projected decline in tourism might be hurting them with investors.

Pretty much. When your planes are always < half full you either need more passengers or smaller planes. Hawaiian and Go! use smaller, more efficient planes. Aloha just can't compete with its fleet.
