First off, there is an ASA board. It's called the ALPA Crewroom board... only ASA pilots can see the local board.
Second off, I have heard the rumor from a couple of line pilots as well as a mechanic that they are going to retro-fit the 700's with first class. The number I heard was 66 seats. I also heard that they are going to remove the forward lav in order to fit the additional seats.
But honestly, without a net increase of airframes, I don't think really give a crap.
