So they're running a 738 out of SEA and a 739 back to SEA? Aren't they going to run out of planes that way? Or do they have ways to turn 738s into 739s at JFK?

I guess they could pair it with a 738/739 uneven distribution on PDX/SJC-JFK-PDX/SJC, and have planes go SEA-JFK-SJC/PDX... but that is really weird to have less seats one way in a market than the other way.

Also: is SEA going to turn into an Airbus base? Or is there going to be an overnight plane stay at SEA or some early morning/late evening flights to position that A320 in SEA?
