You wouldn't be able to do a same-day connection SFO-HNL as that flight goes out at 0910 (but who would not want to overnight in San Francisco--I'm heading in for two different FT events there tonight). AA also runs 757 service LAX-HNL as late as 1650 and 1800 departures, so at least two incoming BA flights coming into LAX could connect with those. Downside is they're domestic 757 seats in F which I don't care for at all (different seat than the AA international 757 business class seat).
