If Southwest were smart (which they are) dont be surprised to see them jump into the void left by Aloha. The aircraft are a perfect fit into their already existing fleet plus they can get the gates/associated equipment and a whole bunch of already trained/qualified staff. They fly to most of the vacation spots in the US and some in Mexico so why not add Hawaii if the infrastructure and equipment required might be had for pennies in the $$.
Just a thought to make something positive out of this otherwise very negative situation.
