Nocella mentioned that in the earnings call today. Specifically that Polaris yields lag pre-pandemic levels, but that is more than offset by strength in the Premium Plus and Y cabins. Specifically attributable to the "premium leisure" segment.

That's probably in the ballpark. UA could do something like 64J/28W/125Y on the 789. A HGW 787-10 in a low-density, heavy-premium configuration could have even more.
