That doesn't seem to make sense based on the DOT fare data but what do I know?

In my mind, 1 of 6 flights is "sparse". And that is what it has been on PHL-LAX. Similar on SFO.

I think this one aircraft is operating LAX-MIA under the same rationale as the PHL-SFO/LAX transcons, i.e. connecting LAX with South America with flat beds all the way for the front cabin.
Certainly they're not capturing my demand on the route, which is purely redeye - 3 of the last 3 times I've flown it I've taken Mint to FLL over AA.
