Definitely possible. An indicator of this is that they installed Gogo ATG on these planes. Why do that when it’s only good for the short time it can be in contact with the antennas on the west coast and these airframes only fly to Hawaii?

That said I won’t be shocked to see the Hawaii neos configured the exact same way as the mainland (non-ETOPS) neos. At least they should have satellite Internet (which still won’t work to overwater Hawaii if they go with ViaSat as they have been - another brilliant plan).

And that also probably means the same seat layout in a premium light configuration (compared to the 757’s they replace).
