Hawaii in general is pretty rough for standby. And there ARE a bunch of pilots trying to get too and from for various reasons. That being said, there are a LOT of flights.... particularly to LAX. So as long as you are conservative, it should be doable. I rarely rarely have anyone in the actual jump on my flights.

Peak season is summer and spring break. You'll also find it tough around the holidays, but usually only in one direction. For example, you would have NO problem getting to Hawaii right now. But try to come back this weekend? Ummm.... gonna be tough.

Just keep in mind that many of the airplanes going back and forth now are 737's. That jumpseat SUCKS for 5 hours.
