I can see Kirby thinking how it would make AA 3 cabin transcon first almost obsolete - which is currently the only all aisle access option.

And trump the Thompson Vantage / Diamond combo on DL, while keeping the same density / CASM.

Beauty of the Polaris setup is it's the same seat count upfront as the old Diamond, so no CASM / density reason to put the older product in.
