I meant aircraft in general. If the prices of one starts going up too much, it’s cover for everyone else to raise prices too. Just how it works here with everything.
I’m not disputing your point, but pricing is relative, and if the lack of competition between Alaskan and Hawaiian results in their prices eventually going up, then it’s possible that Southwest’s prices, while still being cheaper, will also go up.
I mean it could be, but then, why doesn’t SW just raise prices now to meet Hawaiian?
Hawaiian is very expensive and has not so many flights. I’m doing big island to Oahu at least 3-6 times a year and I almost never take Hawaiian because its always more expensive. Local kine always seem to go SW for like, sports games, visit family etc.
I think Hawaiian is just for tourists. They buy Hawaiian cus they dont know better and Hawaiian is better at marketing the off island flights.
Just please don’t increase the cost of island hopping, it’s our only option.

Compared to southwestss prices Hawaiian is a joke Fewer flights and twice the price.

Southwest has been consistently cheaper and remained cheaper for a very long time.
Hawaiian sells mostly to tourists and seem to cater to an older more ‘luxury’ crowd.
