Unfortutately 738 swaps happen all the time, espescially since they are still getting winglets. I gave been downgraded to coach after an EUA due to a last minute change in 738s. Stuff happens, of course, but it resulted in us being assigned some crappy seats in the back of the bus. Luckily I caught it in time to grab bulkhead.
IMHO I just dont see CO pressing to get these converted any time soon as they are concentrating their efforts (and cash) on the 752 and 753 conversions so they can free up equipment for the lucrative flights across the pond.
