Scheduling the trip LAX-KOA-LIH-KOA-LAX works very well, with the crew L/O in either LIH or KOA.

If the company also schedules another trip SFO-KOA-OGG-KOA-SFO, with timing so that the two can swap connecting passengers in KOA in both directions, this can be quite efficient.

This is not accurate for the 321NEO, however may be representative of the 321CEO.

The 321NEO has no problem with LIH to the west coast.
