Flown with both of them and think it might be a good merger as they are both west coast/Pacific based. Alaska based folks often fly through Hawaii on their way to the lower 48 so this makes sense.

It is curious that people would fly via Hawai’i between Alaska and the Lower 48. Just looking at a map, it seems like it would make the trip a factor of six longer: see great circle map of ANC-HLU-LAX vs ANC-LAX. Maybe it no more expensive, due to some strange factor of ticket pricing, but it sure seems longer.
