Capacity to Hawaii has gone up 25% (!) since WN entered the Hawaii market in 2019. Fares have plummeted. Hotels and condos are priced through the roof. WN is making quite a play to gain market share. Do you seriously think their shareholders would approve another significant increase in capacity to this market??? Shareholders would approve an increase in airframe utilization to be accommodated through red-eyes...thereby leading to my point that daytime flights will be harder to get and more expensive if they start red-eyes.
