Because the flight numbers are the same. The system will only credit the hopper as 1 flight, from GUM - HNL or vice versa. Even upgrades won't clear unless ALL segments on the hopper clear. Solution is to break your segments. Not every agent will do it. I remember someone was able to get an (ex-CO) agent to split the hopper segments individually. Probably very YMMV.
