I'd expect AKL to be a perfect example of that, -8 in southern winter, -9 during southern summer peak season. I can see a phl/mia rotation for the 332/767s based on seasonal needs as well.
you think they'll switch between the 8 and 9 seasonal for a capacity difference of ~20-30 Y pax? (serious question as that's an interesting take)
