Simply ask yourself: when will WN add a premium economy section? If the answer is never, then you'll have a pretty good idea of when AS will do so.
WN but with First Class, clubs, elite benefits, buy-on-board meals, service to Hawai'i, international service, reserved seating, a regional carrier, mileage partners, and reciprocal benefits on DL? I'd say they look much more like a legacy airline and much less like WN.
