Clark recently spoke about the failure of Aloha Airlines and warned how those paying for their tickets with cash or a debit card got burned. Of course, those who used a credit card are eligible to get their money back! Now another airline that frequently flew to Hawaii has failed. ATA left thousands of Hawaiians stranded on the mainland and thousands of mainlanders stranded on Hawaii -- can't really have too much sympathy for the latter group, can you? More airlines will fail if the price of oil stays high. Aloha and ATA together flew 3.5 million people from LAX to Hawaii. That has the governor of Hawaii in a panic about loss of tourist revenue.
