What I'm saying is that if this cut was to feed the Hawaii flights, it doesn't make any sense. The new Hawaii flying isn't seasonal. This would do nothing for increasing 752 availability in the summer, when seasonal European routes are in season and P.S. service is at its peak. Even now it doesn't appear that the ex-CO 752 fleet is overused. In the current peak summer season they're still flying leisure routes such as EWR-MCO/TPA and multiple hub-to-hub flights that aren't for positioning purposes. This cut appears more likely to be based strictly on its own economics.
