The majority of the time the strike doesn't happen and when it does most flights go on schedule. Every now and then a flight or 2 might get cancelled or combined but you will get there though it might affect the date/time a bit. This is where booking your LAX-PPT flight through PG is so important ;)

In other airline news:

Papeete, Thursday, August 1, 2013 - Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 767-300 replaces by an Airbus A330-200 on its weekly flight Honolulu-Tahiti as of 2 November 2013.

In reference to Hawaiian Airlines' flight from Honolulu to Papeete and return, they are currently using a 767. It has two classes of service with 18 seats in Business and the remainder in Coach. They will change to an Airbus in November. The news article that was quoted didn't seem to make that terribly clear.
