That's not to preclude management from decreeing that they'll be treated as international per company policy (does Air Mike do this?), but, from a purely TSA and legality standpoint, I believe HNL-UAM is a domestic flight in terms of flight deck access rules.
Standing by . . .
I don't fly for CAL but used to commute alot NYC-SJU.... You are absloutely correct US territories are not international, but as far as I know all these flights are dispatched under flag rules. I have been denied boarding by many un-educated CAL agents (even a borading pass thrown in my face
) in EWR because I am told it is a "international flight." Almost 90% of the time I had to get a hold of the CA. to get a ride, after that smooth sailing.
