SLC-HNL is 1x daily year round. And during winter it peaks at 2x daily. SLC-OGG is 1x daily, and peaks around winter holidays to 2x daily. SLC-KOA is 1x daily in the winter. I can see SLC to Hawaii's being quite sustainable, if not growing. Anyone who knows the local market understands the demand is there. It's mostly 763 for now, but 330 is likely inevitable long term.
And for what it's worth, network has said 4 year round daily WB departures for a domicile in the past. At least that's what they've discussed with specifically with SLC, and was the justification back when they announced their plans in the AE memos ~4 years ago (then pulled back due to being unsure if 330 would be long term fleet).
