The amount of travelers connecting down to SFO and LAX to go across the Pacific is very high and if managment can take advantage of that then the WBs can be useful. If done right, SEA will have 787 & 737 while the rest of the bases are 737 equipped. Intresting to see how it will play out. Not looking forward to the 2 year seat lock on the 787...warning to the NHs
