After undergoing a sleep evaluation, he was diagnosed with “severe obstructive sleep apnea,” which his doctor said could lead to “significant fatigue.” The captain also reported feeling “burnt out” in recent months. The captain lived in Missouri and had been based in Tennessee, before taking a temporary assignment in Kahului in January. The assignment was supposed to last until Feb. 9, but was extended by 28 days. The first officer of the flight said he had never fallen asleep on a flight before. pany of go! airlines, admitting that he and his co-pilot inadvertently fell asleep about 9:33 a.m. — 17 minutes after take-off from Honolulu. The two were suspended and later fired. The report says the flight crew had been experiencing “operational stressors” before the incident, including being assigned an aircraft with a “faulty flight management system” the day before. Also, on the day of the flight, the crew started 30 minutes late because of a scheduling error. That meant that the crew had to rush during several flights to make up for the de- Reach Mary Vorsino at mvorsi no@honoluluadvertiser.com or lay. The report said neither pilot 754-8286. RECENT DONATIONS TO THE ADVERTISER CHRISTMAS FUND RICHARD AMBO | The Honolulu Advertiser Meg Genone, sales clerk at Pacific Fireworks on Nimitz Highway, puts out a sign showing the company has New Year’s fireworks for sale. Lands CONTINUED FROM B1 nomic base,” Khan said. “We’d like to have a decision made by the Hawaiian nation as to what happens to those lands.” Others at the rally such as Takamine and Clifford Hashimoto, aliçi nui for the Royal Order, said they do not believe the state should sell or transfer ceded lands — period. Hashimoto, in a statement read by Royal Order spokesman William Souza, said “the fall of the Crown Lands will result in the final solution of Hawaiians. The actions of the Old Order are back.” Former OHA Trustee Adelaide “Frenchy” DeSoto said ceded lands should be used to benefit Native Hawaiians by providing them housing and health services. “Maybe our people don’t have to be on their knees all the time begging,” DeSoto said. Native Hawaiian rights attorney Dexter Kaiama took issue with the state’s position that Hawaiians may have a “moral” but not “legal” high ground when it comes to ceded lands. Rather than have a U.S. court decide what happens to ceded lands, “ask your country to submit itself to the international courts,” Kaiama said. The Lingle administration has insisted that it has and will continue to support Native Hawaiian causes and that its appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is being backed by a brief supporting the appeal by 29 other states, does nothing to diminish that. Attorney General Mark Bennett, after yesterday’s rally, also reiterated his view that the state’s position on the case has not changed since it was filed against JEFF WIDENER | The Honolulu Advertiser Kaho‘onei Panoke with the Ilioulaokalani Coalition spoke to the rally at the state Capitol. the Cayetano administration in 1994. The original lawsuits brought by four Native Hawaiians and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and then later joined, sought to temporarily halt the sale of about 1,500 acres in Lahaina and Kona to private interests to finance affordable-housing projects for moderate- and low-income families regardless of whether they have Hawaiian blood, until Hawaiian claims to the lands had been resolved. “We continue to believe that the Hawai‘i Supreme Court’s decision was legally incorrect and that it’s our responsibility to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the decision because we believe it was fundamentally, legally incorrect,” Bennett said. The Lingle administration be- lieves the issues raised by Native Hawaiian groups should be addressed by the legislative branch of government, he said. That’s why both he and Lingle have lobbied hard for Congressional passage of the Akaka bill, which creates a process that leads to federal recognition of a Native Hawaiian government entity. There is no inconsistency in arguing that ceded lands are the managerial jurisdiction of the state government while lobbying for the Akaka bill, he said. Some of the groups at yesterday’s rally oppose the Akaka bill while others support it. Ceded lands are the 1.2 million acres once owned by the Hawaiian government and subsequently taken over by the U.S. as a result of the 1898 annexa- tion. Those lands were then passed to the state and designated for five purposes, including but not exclusively for the betterment of Native Hawaiians. They make up a bulk of stateowned lands and 29 percent of the state’s land mass. Takamine said her group planned yesterday’s rally to coincide with the Christmas vacation visit by President-elect Barack Obama in hopes in gaining his attention on the matter. Takamine’s group is planning a larger event that will take place in Waikïkï on Jan. 17, the anniversary of the 1893 overthrow of Liliu‘okalani, Hawai‘i’s last monarch. Reach Gordon Y.K.
