I remember paying over $500 for Kodiak-Anchorage round trips in the late '80s and when MarkAir came in we suddenly had $150 RTs... I miss MarkAir in a lot of ways.
One thing they did not do was compromise their maintenence though. A pilot for them told me the average plane in the Hawaiian Air fleet had some ridiculous high number of requests for repair. If a MarkAir plane had one it did not go in the air...
