LOL....
Sorry, couldn't resist and don't mean to single you out personally with this, but it seems the UA/CO merger is still much in flux with scheduling and maybe you'll still get another few schedule changes. Maybe next via EWR? Or IAH?
I would think that all of these changes are due to the merger and not the usual norm at either UA or CO. At any rate, once you finally get on board I'm sure that you'll have a good trip, with whatever routing they finally decide to put you on.

You could 'one stop' through San Francisco or LAX on UA or American to simplify that trip? Seems like a brutal itinerary - especially when you could get direct flights from London to beautiful places like Mauritius, the Seychelles or the Maldives in much less time and with much more friendly time zones. Don't get me wrong (I don't mean to offend any one) Hawai'i is a nice enough but from Europe you must really, really want to go there to go to those lengths and battle all of those time zones unless you are heading onwards to the South Pacific !! Anyway hope you have a great trip.

I'm sorry for all the schedule changes. I know it can get frustrating, especially if there has been more than one change.
The discontinuation of the DEN-LHR-DEN segments was a big one-time schedule adjustment. This was a somewhat unexpected route cancellation that's just one of those things that happens.
My guess is that some of the other schedule changes not only have to do with schedule tweaking as the UA/CO merger progresses, but also because Easter is extremly late this year. April 24 is starting to back up against some of the normal start-of-summer-peak-travel schedule additions and changes.
As an aside, the LAX-LHR flight has historically departed around 5:30-ish in the evening. I was surprised when they moved it up earlier in the day; sounds like they are finally moving it back.
HNL-SFO-LHR, if that's what I understand your new routing to be, will actually be better than HNL-ORD-LAX because SFO-LHR will be a longer flight on an internationally configured aircraft (HNL-ORD & HNL-SFO are usually on domestic aircraft without personal TVs)

One thing I really really hate is UA's constant schedule changes. Probably 75% of my itineraries are LAX-SFO, LAX-DEN and LAX-ORD—hub to hub travel—and yet they still manage to change my departure times (usually fudging the padding at LAX and ORD). It happens probably 3 out of 5 itineraries I book with UA. Never happens with my DL itineraries.
The worst itinerary changed happened on a leisure trip though. It is indeed a travel story from hell, and one that UA never compensated me for so I will repeat it over and over to anybody that will listen. From then on out, I switched to DL for my leisure travel, and as long as the business travel keeps me elite on DL I'm OK with that.

I've just had a few minor changes to a UA itinerary in March/April. Mainly just 5min schedule changes here and there, but also aircraft changes and even franchise partner changes.
For example, my ORD-IND flight was supposed to be a Shuttle America E-170, and is now a SkyWest CRJ. I was looking forward to the E-jet...
