Or those few extra frames will be designated to eventually replace the legacy US 757s flying PHX-Hawaii.
While anything is possible, A321s flying LIH-PHX and OGG-PHX would probably have even greater weight restrictions than the same aircraft flying LIH-LAX and OGG-LAX, given the extra 350-400 miles to PHX vs. LAX.
