Cute? As has been suggested multiple times, there are various reasons. The most likely is early scraping the prior seats will lead to a financial hit due to depreciate tax rules. May not be cute but it is a really issue.
Conversion continues, just for other older aircraft and the 789 will get done -- and as you suggest, it is not creating any major issues doing the other aircraft first.
