Yup....plus the lower fare buckets are often reduced on the weekends. I've been having some fun charting fare changes day-to-day lately and there are about 100 that dropped between yesterday and today that I can see, but that doesn't always mean they can be purchased at the lowest fare.

And the day before there were a lot more than 100 which dropped. I also see about 300 that increased today versus yesterday.
