PDX Late Night Flights
I just received two schedule changes for flights in late November and early December. Both were the late night PDX-IAH flights, and then onward IAH-EWR in the morning.
They both moved to the direct PDX-EWR flight in the morning.
When I looked for other routings (thinking this was related to the IAH reactions to Hobby), the PDX-ORD late night was also missing.
Is this seasonal only, or are they dropping those flights?

I've seen them come and go, I'm thinking it may be seasonal.
If you want a redeye, you can try for an evening PDX-SFO or PDX-SEA and continue on from there.

According to ExpertFlyer.. the PDX-ORD redeye only operates on Sundays in December. You're lucky to even get that.. there is no SEA-ORD nonstop redeye at all in December (at least not in early Dec).

No it's just a seasonal adjustment...and it make sense. With the merger there are now 4 redeye hub destinations from the west coast, EWR, IAD, ORD, & IAH...instead of just 2. At that time of year there just isn't the need for redeyes to all of them every day.
