I understand why PE does not work for short haul, but it seems like the sweet spot for the 789 is long thin routes and routes like ATL, DFW, ORD, JFK, SJC would be ideal. Additionally, wasn't there some blow back when BR shifted VIE to the 789 with no PE?
Also, the OEW of the 789 is 86K lbs less than the 77W with respect to landing fees. Is the yield pressure a function of the other daytime TPAC JFK departures? I guess I didn't appreciate the competitive moat JL and NH have built with their longstanding NRT flights.

BR has only done well on PE in SIN, SGN, BKK, PEK, and PVG. This is why these markets maintain PE service. The 789 is not fit for any of these markets as the J count is too low. BR really jammed as many seats into these 789s as possible to move it as close to the A333 as possible, evidenced by the placement of the closets, their galley sizes, and lavatory placements.
Yeah they really wanted the 789/78J to be able to replace the 332/333. VIE was really a 332 destination in the past. We will see if it actually works out with this being the new competing route.

24 Boeing 787s (4 -9s and 20 -10s)
EVA Air has ordered four Boeing 787-9s and 20 Boeing 787-10s. The first Boeing 787-10 will be delivered in the second quarter of 2019.
I hope that Boeing 787-10s will come with an elite class (premium economy) cabin.
Some Boeing 787-10s will surely be taking over some of these European routes mentioned above, too.

Indeed when I booked recently for a SEA-BKK-SEA trip in June I was offered the new flights. The flight numbers are BR3/BR4 if memory serves, which I find somewhat interesting.
I stayed with BR25/26 though. I'm afraid that if 3/4 aren't filled up they might get canceled, screwing up my elaborate plans.
