Doing so does not imply they'll trim down the staffing on all routes. The low yielding markets (i.e. FL) can/are operated with less FA & amenities while CO can overstaff other flights based on what people are willing to pay for.

Regardless if CO implements E+, you'd think they'd want to do this fleet wide across all sections of coach.
