I've always been surprised that PHL-ZRH was ever year round, especially since they only flew the 762 on the route rather than A332 with business class suites on what one would expect to be a higher yielding route. Last I flew it in the depths of winter there were something like 45 total passengers on it.
Yes....some of the suspensions are indeed very short. Nothing totally surprising here except perhaps the addition of flights to VCP.
