Yes it is, flew one a few weeks ago, it was VERY empty in all classes. It seems like NH love blocking majority of seats til 24 hours to departure, it ended up leaving less than 1/3 full the entire plane, I got 4 seats to myself in Y, and most other people got 2, 3, or 4 seats to themselves as well.

I wonder how they can make any money on this route.
