No, at the diversion point they were 300nm+ closer to HNL than ANC; the westbound TPACs tend to fly pretty flat to make the most of the winds. Not to mention better staffed at HNL than ANC.
Flat relative to what? Mercator? Great circle? This flight was pretty much on the pacific track prior to diversion which had a partial circle component to it.
