However, I notice that starting on September 1, CO has reinstated CO 621 in a 733 or 735 for the indefinite future, without any apparent lessening in flight frequency. I realize that I am perhaps encouraging rank speculation against my better FT judgment, but does anyone have any thoughts on why this might be so?
Remember IND was NW's largest non-hub city.....so I'm sure LK is just trying to get some additional inventory back into the market now that the code-sharing is almost over
