CX may have caught on that DPS is like Hawaii; not many paid pax in premium cabins because it's a leisure destination, boatloads of people with credit cards and bloated mileage balances who want to fly to Bali and be in a premium cabin, and adjusted inventory accordingly.

Back in the day they used to fly a 747 there. Now it's a 773 with less premium seats.
