Makes sense...I did not check all the routes around the holiday peak days, but mostly checked to see if PHX was being restored. But it makes sense that if they are getting an extra PHX flight in during the peak demand days, the aircraft they are using to make that happen can do some other things, too.

They really do have a core group of customers who are groomed to pounce when the new schedule is loaded...
