Seems that they are throwing 763s, 788s, and 773s at the Hawai‘i routes with no rhyme or reason to the existing schedule. Admirably scrambling to cover the loss of that dedicated fleet.
I would have been happy with any of the options you listed. I got switched to a 753 last minute and had to sit next to a lady who seemed to only keep her mask on when the FA was looking. Much better than the polaris seat I'd paid for specifically to not be next to someone during covid...
I get that equipment swaps happen, but it just sucks knowing that you'll be disappointed on United basically every time.
