As of now I don't think they have any scheduled widebody routes this winter, and if I had to guess, I'd say that's unlikely to change.
There is only one flight per day loaded in the schedule YVR-HNL and YVR-OGG which depart around 8 a.m up until mid Dec when the afternoon flights begin. All flights are currently listed as 7M8's Last year the evening flights were operated with 789's. The direct YYC-OGG flights begin mid Dec as well- using 7M8s. Only good thing is we get an 8 am departure getting in to OGG at 12 pm. Looks like all Hawaii flights including YVR-KOA and the two a day YVR-HNL and YVR-OGG that start in Dec are 7M8s.
Whether we will see 789s at all is a question due to the reasons stated by the poster above. Keep our fingers crossed.
