Hawaiian hasn't yet stated (announcement expected "shortly") on what Hawaiian intends to do with the certificate; my guess is that they will move the Ohana operation in-house under the Island Air certificate, rather than continuing to contract out the operation to Empire. IIRC Hawaiian owns the Ohana ATRs.
