Apparently YVR-HNL-SYD is quite busy (last year they had a winter 343 as well as the usual 767) and us Hogtowners don't want to be two-stopping it
Apparently the game plan is to leverage other central/eastern Canadian services to LAX on to the SYD run rather than introduce more direct services to HNL.
