Taking your example - when HNL-LAX goes mechanical, you are not alone. IME - there are at least 100 pax who are in the same situation as you do. It will be impossible to accommodate all those impacted. Also - it is not necessary that any alternative flights have the capacities (Note - in some cases, even using B772, UA has to impose weight restriction on HNL routes).
It is simpler to resolve the IRROPS rather than rebooking.
FWIW - I have been flying through HNL for some many time over the years. I have only been rebooked once proactively.

I know I'm not alone and UA cannot help all those impacted, and that is precisely the point. if I'm a UC Member, that's one of the "benefits" I pay for - flight rebooking assistance. I absolutely want to jump the queue and get a seat on another flight before it fills up. All the other clubs don't have any trouble helping me.

The old NW WC was next to the CO PC which is now the Delta Sky Club. Would not make a bad temporary UC, and is much more centrally located.

But I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I maintain that flight rebooking is one of the most important functions of Club Membership.

UA HNL Club: 04/29/18
A bit of construction ongoing in and around Gates 7 through 11. Because of that, only the escalators in front of Gate 11 permit access to the Club.
That being said, the rooms between the restrooms and the coffee/hot drinks/cup of noodles service area continues to be under construction as well:
Standing and taking the below shot, the help your self to containers of cup of noodles were quite popular:
Furnishings continue to be primarily rattan in pastelish colors and patterns:
4 different salads were offered besides mixed greens. Soup was chicken noodle. Self service cold drinks, besides plain and lime/mint flavored waters, were OJ and POG (not shown).

If you notice in DELee's pictures the tray above the egg and chicken salad contains King's Hawaiian sweet rolls.
Those are quite tasty and go well with either spread on them.
