They do add seasonal service on those routes, don't they, so why not add some more as long as the demand is there?
In general, the question becomes whether the incremental demand from adding seasonal service is at a profitable fare. Just having demand for a route doesn't make it a viable one, and just because a fare seems high relative to years past doesn't mean it is profitable at today's fuel prices.
