I'm doing some planning -- we're actually going to end up in Kona -- from Phoenix -- an to avoid this, using my 1/2 off option, I'm thinking of doing a RT from LAX to Maui and doing the hop from there.
I can easily use SW points for the PHX/LAX run.
Every airline has mechanical problems and no particular city is immune. Hawaiian does not operate the same particular airplane to certain cities. All 11 (soon 10, and 9 next summer when you're flying) 767s could end up flying to PHX. Therefore, I wouldn't plan an entire journey around a thread on FT that magnifies occasional problems on a particular route. I highly doubt the 330 will be flying to PHX anytime soon. And for the record, the 330 has occasional issues as well. Just find the tickets that fit your needs and book them.
