The -600s are the highest cost aircraft WS has on a per seat basis. The question is how many seats do they think they are going to sell.
The fact that they are using 600s on this route when they used to use 700s illustrates that you really can't tell in advance what type of aircraft you will get. They are flying 600s today; perhaps traffic will pick up as we approach winter and they will switch back to 700s.
