They could not do all these with the four 789s. Looking at the week of Aug 12, currently 2 daily NRT, 1 daily NGO and 2 daily KIX (178,130) are scheduled with the 789, yet these operations required all 4 789s to complete. Let alone the VIE/AMS already scheduled. We should see some flights adjusted to 78X soon!

North American route and freq. expansion has been suspended til 4Q2019 and BR has already expressed they have no desire to return to the daytime TPE-JFK flight because of high yield pressure and higher landing fees.

My guess is that SJC and IAD are probably on top of the list. Would you still want it if they use the 787-9, with no PE, for SJC, not that they have enough of these?
It seems to me if the day time JFK flight will not resume, they should really do a day time arrival into the east coast for connection and IAD would be perfect.

Premium Economy is really not marketable in short haul, and the feasibility of it being in long haul is not very good unless they are like ANA or JAL where they can just rotate the same aircraft on the same routes. Each time the plane is in short haul it's basically an Economy seat for tiered members. I would expect BR wanting more available seats for sale (especially that 789 has less seats than 333).

789 may be too small to operate this route. I don't see BR wanting to go 2 daily at JFK if they cite high landing fees as a problem.

But to be fair, majority of asian population is probably closer to JFK than EWR.
SJC is about half/half.
I don't care about PE. Company flies in J. BR7/8 isn't doing well- why not down gauge to 789 and send it to SJC. I would glad take that flight since SJC is like 20 minutes away from my home and office
