Guess we know why they are moving to 16 seats

This could get interesting in terms of how the term 'equivalent' is defined. Obviously it is easy to say rouge 321 = mainline 321 and rouge 763 = mainline 763.

But then we have have the 787 which was always marked as the replacement for the 763. So if that is the case, would they have to add J seats to a 788 as it only has 20 J vs 24 PY in the rouge 763?
