I do believe they will follow a routing used by northwest where it wasa mainland-ogg-Koa mainland or a mainland-hnl-lih-mainland and a mainland -hnl-ogg-mainland.

I think they will use lax and oak as main launch points. Sea/PDF is posdble...I'm not familiar with the distance limits with certain planes in their fleet.

If the were ble to do this they could do a route like sea-hnl-PDx-sea. Then they also would add competition to the sea-PDXroute.
