Is it fair to assume that you have not worked as part of a union in the US avaition industry? Your ask is so far from common practice that I can't really come to any other conclusion.

Senior people get what they want, junior people get what's left. Have you looked into how senior or junior inter-isalnd flying tends to go? Basically, your option as the FNG is whatever the company tells you to do...which is whatever the senior folks don't want.

The other guys have given you some good options for Hawaii flying. You ought to take a look at Aloha cargo -
AAC - 737 First Officer HNL Aloha Opportunities (ultipro.com) They seem to do the sort of flying you'd like to do.

IMHO, you are showing that you are quite unfamiliar with the part of the industry you're looking into. I'm not at Hawaiian, so maybe I don't get it. But as an outsider to the airline (but not the industry) I think you really ought to do some research into both the seniority system and how that tends to work at Hawaiian specifically.
