The op-up experiences from the past few weeks may not be 'normal' for the whole year, but may be a combination of the gutting of the eupgrade program, as well as the time of year. Probably a good reflection on what travel during the summer will look like as well with more op-ups than prior years, and a lot more deadheading staff in J, particularly on some of the hub-to-hub routes.
