Hawaiian had to join Alaska because SOUTHWEST has a better price point, better luggage policy (2 bags free), no fee flight change (Alaska flight change is pricey) and has been a solid airline servicing Oahu and outer islands. I've watched Hawaiian put several airlines out of business (Aloha Air, Mahalo Air, etc) by pricing them into bankruptcy, only to turn around and gouge loyal customers once the competition is gone. Let the free market dictate the best price and service. That is what gives paying customers the option to choose what airline survives. Aloha to all.

Instead, you currently leave ONT (6 miles away from my Upland home) only to have the flight stop off in Phoenix before heading off to Lihue.

Now with all these merging, it raises the prices, and less airlines to pick and choose from. Its a monopoly at this point. However, as a former worker for Alaska and an aviation enthusiast,I am really excited about Alaska having their first widebody aircraft. I hope they actually keep them instead of keeping only 737s. I was excited when they obtained Airbus because it was finally something new to work on, and to see within the Alaska fleet. Lastly, I'm excites for how the new livery will look.

After that time, yes, they're technically free to rebrand if they choose, but they'd be alienating the people of Hawaii, including local government leaders who advocated in favor of this acquisition. And let's not forget, Alaska and Hawaiian represent the proud native people of their namesake states - that's brand equity you cannot and will not throw away, ever. The names are staying. Also, there was never an agreement to keep the Virgin America name or branding, and Alaska wanted out of it because the Alaska brand was found to be stronger and more relatable by the consultants brought in to analyze both brands, AND the licensing fee to Branson was going up to 1% of combined annual revenues, which is insane.
