Not a chance in hell. The FAA process alone would take longer, and then we would need to "Southwest" them and completely modify every single procedure because we think we know a better way. In addition, I think what people don't realize about WB flying is the logistics involved. The passengers are the easy part; it's everything else you need in place to make the operation worthwhile. Heck, we would need to train our ground crews on completely new machines, loading techniques, and software; establish larger cargo and food and beverage contracts; work our pilot and fa contracts to accept them; change our gates; and on and on and on.
Flying them is easy; making them profitable and successful is another animal altogether.
