We need to start doing something other then growing DFW or CLT.
Just because a seat goes flat doesn't make it "premium." Not when you're stuck with a crabby flight attendant who only appears twice—once to dump a pre-plated, pre-tray of slop, and again to snatch it away. Add a dirty seat, cabins and lavs so cramped you need to be a contortionist just to pee, and those ancient 360p screens, and suddenly that lie-flat seat means nothing.

Same thing goes for the 19 and 20 supposed to put the fancy interior from the regular 321 with a big overhead bins right? No reason to fix them if they're starting that this fall? Unless I'm mistaken.
The current 777 interiors are over a decade old, and the A321Ts are even older. Notably, both fleets were only upgraded under Tom Horton's tenure; during his time, "DUI Duggie" merely oversaw the replacement of seat covers and carpet on the old Airbuses.
