Based on UA's decision to get a waiver and leave all islands except the 1 flight just before midnight HNL-SFO, I'll be taking my first DL flight in 8 years. I'm one of those crazies that will connect on UA vs. a non-stop OAL. I know, I'm a gluten for punishment. Well, now my choice out of KOA is 3 stops (HNL, SFO, ORD/DEN) to get to MCI with a 19 hour elapsed time, yikes . Next week I'm taking DL direct to LAX and then MSP before MCI. Still a long day/night, but it is 6 hours shorter and gets in at 3 PM vs 8 PM. Service is non-existent on both carriers so that's a push. I was still considering the UA option (I'm an idiot) until the decision DL made to sell no more than 50/60% ( F/Y). That pushed it over the top. We'll see how it goes.
