At least in the short term that means no complimentary elite upgrades to PC or F unless you connect in a city with AS operated flights to HNL.
Yeah, that one surprised me. I thought the 330s would stay to meet their merger commitments because I didn’t think they’d go 3x/day narrowbody, but I was wrong. Presumably that’s some of the plan for shifting some of the connecting flows from SEA to PDX.
