Hawaiian Airlines is cutting a small number of jobs on Oahu as it folds into Alaska Airlines — bad news for the workers affected, but a minor trim for the company.

• Thirteen non-union positions are being eliminated across three Oahu sites.
• Most of the cuts hit corporate headquarters, with single roles gone at the cargo hangar and Honolulu airport.
• The layoffs land in December and January and are permanent.
• No facilities are expected to close, so this is a back-office consolidation rather than a pullback in flying.

Outlook: Expect more quiet overlap cuts as Alaska and Hawaiian merge their corporate functions.
