WN304 KOA-LAS emergency, redirected to HNL
Smoke in the cockpit + oxygen issues apparently, so dumped fuel and landed in HNL.

Second emergency ex-HI this month for WN following WN2827.

Appears they fixed it.

The company reported WN 304 "dumped fuel"? Unaware 737s had that capability.

I don't think the issue was fixed. That flight is N8739L. The diverted flight's tail was N8752Q.

Boeing 737s do not have fuel dumping capability. The airplane flew for more than an hour and a half, so the landing weight may not have even been an issue.
