To be fair, the "summer season" is not the summer months July and August. It is the summer timetable season which runs from end of March to end of October (basically from/to the dates where clocks get turned one hour ahead or back). There is usually more business travel during that period. The strict summer months do indeed see a drop in business travelers on some routes, and the timetable does get some adjustments. Also, Air France operates a cabin change on some 77W where they remove some J seats and replace them by Y seats.
