I agree. I think that is common with Spirit (high share of close in booking) although Spirit's booking window is longer. F9 has been adding a number of experimental routes out east, but hasn't stated any are seasonal. I believe they can monitor performance, be non committal and make decisions to adjust the schedule including canceling a route earlier in without canceling pax itineraries. The last thing they want is another ILG-IAH fiasco but hopefully they have more experience being ULCC.
