I'm not sure. But they really abused that route authority. Aside from the equipment downgauging, they reduced the weekly frequencies. Suspended it in the off season. Actually, how long did they have that route authority? Two years?
But here's the hypocrisy. The reason why DL could not make that flight work was because of the nighttime slots. That would not have been the case if it used daytime slots at HND.
