If I want to standby/same-day change onto an interisland connection that is just under the MCT (and therefore cannot be ticketed when booking), am I SOL?
For context, if flying LAX-HNL-LIH, HA1 arrives at 9:50. The first legal connection HA will sell is on HA273, departing at 12:00. HA253, departing at 10:40, would be a 50-minute connection, which is 15 minutes under MCT but doable if HA1 arrives on time. I'll have no checked bags.

I'd be happy to pay for the change if it's reasonable, but I'm concerned that there might not be a way to do so. If a ticket reissue is required, it might not work, since the flight I'd be trying to change to violates MCT.
