How does it work? Can he still be waitlisted even though he commences travel from HNL-LAS? That is, could the waitlist clear at some point prior to his confirmed return flights?
Yes, waitlists stay in the record until the flight in question departs. It doesn't matter if you've already flown earlier segments on the record. As you may know, you need an all UA itinerary (or all UA remaining segments) to waitlist.
I have had waitlists for my return after the outbound flights.
