They don't have a choice on timing out. If they run up against their legal limit, they can't fly anymore (or continue on).
Well, coming back, the lie-flats to SFO leaves very early (6:30am). Plus non-stops are preferable to connections.

The added time getting to HNL, are you flying to HNL for the service or going on vacation? Would like UA to enhance the service on their longest domestic flight, YES, but will they, NO. So I'm not going out of my way to get a better meal... Get me on the 764, pop a pill, and wake up in HNL.

...because you can get a the non-stop from on the 767 with lie flats in BF? I flew NYC-SFO-OGG and OGG-HNL-EWR last June and while I had the luxury of flying in F loungers to and lie flat home my best friend with me was in Y all the way through and he would have much rather had some drinks at the airport take a sleeping pill and knock out cold (which is what he did on HNL-EWR but couldn't do on the way there).

We're off to HNL on Thursday in BF and am disappointed to hear that they cut the Ice Cream Sundae because they served it in October when I last flew on this route.
