I don't know how the yields would look on the PPT leg. It's primarily leisure and might be a cheap beach route. Airlines tend to use their best aircraft on business oriented competitive but high yielding routes, including flagship routes. Of course, these considerations are after using aircraft that have the required capability for the route, including freight loads, and are the right size for (revenue) passenger loads. Network optimization also plays a role.
