The quick answer is no. Remember, the -800 has been quite successfully managing the west coast to Hawaii for a few decades now. I just completed training and was told we will cap sales at 165 seats initially - which seems reasonable until we figure out what works.
Don't buy into the "we have more seats than anyone else flying the -800" nonsense. We also don't have full galleys with ovens, bulky F class seats and any number of other things that add to the empty weight of the a/c. Oh, and then there's that pesky fact of ATA having 175 coach seats on their -800's and rarely (if ever) having an issue.
It will be successful with very few limitations.

I don't really GAS whether you believe it or not. The adult world works by people knowing what they're talking about. You fail miserably in that regard.
I hear that myIDTravel is not working for certain carrier's Jumpseat processing today. Aren't you the self proclaimed Jumpseat monitor? Better go have a look so you can pounce on all those airlines that don't have their $hlt together and call out their union leadership for allowing an IT issue to happen.
