Exactly. Even if we did have a west coast base, it would last only the length of the contract. Why risk it at Hawaiian when it's close to guarantee at others. Not to mention better benefits at other carriers.

From what I understand this expansion to the mainland is part of a long term growth/diversification strategy.

If it’s the company you ultimately want to work for, then take the chance as you would any other airline. If you want stability then go work for the government. Even profitable airlines close bases.

Assuming the Amazon rumor is true, and initially deadheads are the plan to start... Think about all those mainland commuters (especially the ones near the West Coast) Paid 5 hrs on Day 1 to not have to DH. Either fly in later that night, or for those living in SoCal, drive to work and hour prior to the flight.
Look at those Maui guys, they bank like 8-10 hrs a month free and clear for DH's. Now make those free DH's 5+ hrs.
Again, if the rumors are at all accurate, the schedule would be a big factor in who goes for it IMO.

Myself, pessimistic:
Considering Japan, the Yen, the forecasted deep recession (just take anything Janet Yellen says and make it way worse), SWA neighbor island competition fare wars. Pretty much my only real hope for the company for the next couple years is this Amazon rumor.

I'd like to think they learned a lot from their mistakes. Although they would never admit any mistakes.
