There are ways to comp. status on HA. You should call HA (HA Miles center) and ask for a status comp by telling them your status on AA. They'll have you fax your mileage statement and card in.
Which carrier did you have status on and what level was it? You might try again, calling the HA Miles service desk. HA's agents have a reputation, sometimes incorrectly labeled and sometimes true, for being ill-informed.

It didn't matter which carrier. I was told no to whether they comp status from another airline. I never got the chance to tell her which airlines I had elite status. She told me that I must fly their airline to get elite status. This occurred many moons ago. Things may have changed since then.
You may want to ask for the marketing department of Hawaiian (not a regular phone rep CSR). This would put you in with the people you know will care about where your money is spent. Tell them why a status comp would be valuable to you and what your future travel plans on HA look like.
