What was the route?
P+ is only being offered on a limited number of routes. On other routes, they may use the P+-equipped planes, but they're not selling the P+ product; instead, those seats are treated as E+. This is done to reduce the number of issues they have if they need to do an aircraft swap to a non-P+-equipped plane.
PS: The launch of P+ service is actually 3/30, not 3/20.
