It seems their system is programed/biased to avoid inter-island connections on HA. When I called AA, the agent at first only offered AA metal narrow-body flights as alternatives. I had to feed the agent the AA codeshare flight numbers for the HA flights to/from HNL.

Not thrilled with the extra time and inter-island flight, but we did keep PE on the long legs.
It's likely by design. It's cheaper to put you on AA metal.
