I wasn't aware US had purchased or leased a 752 from TACA.

Not sure if the CPM will make it MR worthy because it's such a long thin route. CO tried a seasonal EWR-ANC non-stop several years ago and fares were never cheap. It only lasted one season as well so I don't think it was very profitable. IIRC CO used a 73G so perhaps US can make it work with a 752 and hopefully can fill them up.
