Default What is the story anyways???

Okay, what is the deal here with Blue Hawaii?? I understand and know who this Mancassola guy is but exactly what is going on with this new proposed carrier?

I don't know how they figure to survive in our market, not to mention his last two ventures, namely Debnonair which were unsuccessful. Its possible that they could make it but its going to be a long-shot competing w/Hawaiian, Aloha, the big boys and their current routes already in place.

Nevertheless, its always nice to see this 'mystery' third carrier popup in the islands every now and then and try their best to gain a share of the market.

My head is still reeling over the fact of seeing one of Chris' planes on the front page of a real newspaper, talking about a proposed airline

Thumbs up That is great!

Always good to here of a start up! A DA.C member is involved. Neat seeing dreams becoming real! And to think they served 1:400th scale people. So 1:1 scale people will get to ride the real thing hopefully! I hope Coke Cola will be the drink of the soft drink choice.
