Would it make sense to have a subfleet without F for those kinds of destinations? DAR has already been removed, NBOs and MCTs return are unsure at best, which leaves JNB, BOM, DEL and potentially YUL as potential candidates for losing F. The rest of the destinations seem to be rather well booked, NYC, SFO, LAX, SIN, TYO, MIA, ORD, GRU and eventually PEK, PVG and HKG when they eventually return. I think it's more ecomonical to have a standard fleet and cabin, but that is just my uneducated guess.
Wouldn't it make much more sense to just oursource these routes with lower Business and First traffic to Edelweiss? (And maybe finally integrate WK into *A properly or just treat LX codeshare flights on WK as LX flights to enhance and streamline the interconnectivity and interoperability and pax experience. Service is already very similar and booking wise it makes virtually no difference already, except for FFP and ancilliaries.)
