TPE is always packed for Y, but not too full in J, so first I was afraid they would make it 787. However, it's also possible they would switch the SFO-TPE flight into PMUA 777.

You better hope they won't make it with 787.

Update: From the sticky update it looks like I am correct. I am definitely fond of making SFO-TPE as 773ER, as this would be one of my major routes too.
