It's gonna cost them a lot of money.
Why not just leave things status quo? Keep building these pairings out of SFO and LAX, pretty much everyone overnights in SEA/PDX. The only downside is no immediate 2 hr callout reserve coverage in SEA. That hurts them. OTOH what's the cost for those kinds of SEA Airbus cancellations, VERSUS: the numerous training costs of SEA Boeing to Airbus, displacement training costs Airbus to Boeing, moving costs, new base costs, etc? I would think at this point with the economy crashing, virus fears abound, and stock tanking, that the #1 goal should be to preserve costs and save money.
