However, that's not going to happen. NW's 332/333 aircrafts have such a low percentage of WBC seats vs coach seats. The airline simply can't afford to giving away premium cabin seats for free via SWUs to its most loyal customers.

But what is the percentage of those WBC seats that are filled? On most of the trans-Pacific flights I have been on, very rarely is WBC booked to capacity.
