Remember that CO did it because the planes were all configured for TATL service, not because the LIM routes had demand for flat beds.

If there is high demand for Y at $700 then selling 30 fewer seats on each plane is a horrible deal for the company. If B6 is only getting an incremental $100-200 for each of the 16 seats that's likely working against the revenue model. Unless the expectation is that the plane is sitting on the ground idle those days anyways.
