I am guessing once the additional routes (SFO-TPE, SFO-PEK and EWR-NRT) start later this year, the swaps will be reduced.
So you got super lucky.
The plus is they also end up in the domestic rotation too, I got a swap out from SFO-EWR yesterday on one. I had looked for this aircraft when I booked the flight a couple months ago but ended up with a 757. It was a nice surprise and now the 7 month in a row I got a ER flight on that route.
