Hopefully the competition will keep them from doing so, though I imagine this could mark the end of PS on BOS-SFO.
Yup. It's a terrible precedent.
Now, every time there is a pandemic killing people, trasshing the economy and necessitating a massive government bailout, UA is going to pull flatbeds from a route which doesn't have the demand.
If, as you choose to say, the economy is "damned" then the question of what the seating arrangements are in the premium cabin will be irrelevant soon enough.
