UAL is ramping up the HI flights in DEN so it all depends on if they want to compete on the route with UAL flying 757, 777, and 787's.

ETOPS 800s to begin with and then primarily Max aircraft is what I have heard.
It’s 2,300 miles from LA to HNL, even less from Oakland. It always blows my mind how folks think it is so far. It’s basically a transcon worth of flying. It is less distance than BWI-SAN and we somehow manage that with a full boat of people.

Don’t forget to factor in APU burn as well because on the 737 that needs to be run CONTINOUSLY for ETOPS as a third source of electrical power being that we don’t have a RAT.
