Note that pre-Covid, the domestic 772 often flew routes like SFO-ORD, SFO/LAX-EWR where many of those passengers would prefer the Polaris seats.

Don't really see this happening at all. Not even the premium transcons get PL access.

And if even if they just did UC access, I'd imagine the HNL lounge would be packed.
