EWR-LAX/SFO/SEA okay in the winter against strong headwinds?
Yep. It is a runway pig to say the least. Barely got out of DEN last week going to EWR after they closed 34L on the taxi out. It was a pleasent 61 degrees with wind straight out of the north. We do have a fair share of fuel stops in the winter, but probably not many more then the Bus. Long story short, management thinks it's a 757 replacement. Reality is it's not on 1:1 basis.
