I hope that you aren't saying that HA's F/A don't blow away HP's. One of the main reason HA get so many awards for service is because of the F/A's. And they just might be some of the best looking girls in the sky.
I
am saying that. In my experience HA's F/As don't 'blow away' HP's. (And I'm talking quality of service, not dress size.)
I consistently have excellent service on HP, especially in first class. I've also had excellent service on HA but I've also had dismal service.
In general, my experience with F/A's on HA (almost all of it in F) is solid, but by no means does it 'blow away' the F/A service on HP, hence my comment. For a non-mileage-focused traveler choosing a flight to Hawaii, I think HA is significantly better in every category, with the possible exception of F/A service. In my experience, in that area, HA does not have a significant advantage.
