The reintroduction of the grounded 777 with the PW engines might free up sufficient non-PW 777s to cover the remaining non-PS 789 flights.

Still surprised by some non-PS 789s showing up on dedicated Premium Economy routes. Just this past week two days SFO-FRA was operating on non-PS aircraft. Flight status displays PY cabin as "Full" "0 checked-in". Quite a let-down for pax who bought PY tickets.
