I've got 13 flights PDX > OGG or OGG > PDX between now and May and in the last 24 hours two have been changed. One PDX > OGG was an evening depature and was canceled with me being placed on an AM flight. The other was OGG > PDX and the time was changed by an hour. I'm pretty flexible so the changes are fine but figured I'd share to let others know that there are some changes happening.
Obviously, travel to/from Hawaii is a very fluid situation these days. It looks like AS is tightening up some things and trying to fill planes. The one I got moved to in mid-Feburary is about 90% full according to the seatmap.

This is happening everywhere. I have had four flights canceled in January already. I was able to rebook at the same price the day before or day after. I completely understand why AS is doing this and have adjusted. I have 23 CC mileage runs booked before mid-March... I'm expecting that some of my Feb flights will be canceled. Great time to fly, though -- cheap, open seats in premium and / or easy upgrades to FC.

I learned last year to not rely on TripIt (not renewing my subscription), ExpertFlyer (also not renewing), or the airline itself to let me know of cancellations - the only way I can reliably keep track of my flights is by tracking them in Google Flights and reviewing them at least once per day! The moment I see the price gone in an itinerary and replaced by a grey "!" I know something has gone wrong. ... the system didn't automatically update my trips in the app or online and instead gave the error message about needing to call in. ...
