Sunday only is odd for Southwest, usually it is daily or Saturday only. I bet we will see more dynamic schedules with the new system. Also looks like the Dec extension will use it.
From the most recent investor conference call:

* New reservation system (customer facing) Dec 2016
* New reservation system (back office conversion) May 2017
That fits nicely with the schedule extensions. I suspect they were originally targeting an earlier date and have now pushed out the schedule a couple of weeks due to delays and May 8th is not the new target for going live with the new system.
