Why no UA flights IAD-NYC b/t 6 and 10pm?

Hi All,

Random question. I've traveled down to DC from NYC frequently in the past several months for work. Like many FTers wanting to maximize my miles, I tend to want to fly UA wherever possible. I'm wondering if anyone knows why UA doesn't have any flights ex-IAD to NYC b/t the hours of 6pm and 10pm? My random theories would be:

- no slots at the airports ?
- no demand? (Like me, though, I have to assume someone wants a UA flight from IAD to NY after work--say, 7 or 8pm, without having to wait until the 10pm flights to LGA, JFK, EWR.)
- UA figures most people will just fly USAirways instead?
