Neither the AC website nor EF shows it scheduled for any days in April; it returns to the schedule on May 1st.

This is very disappointing, and I don't recall it going away during April in previous years. Was there an announcement that I missed? Perhaps this is more downstream ripple from the grounding of the MAX? Anyone have any insight?

It was a victim of the 737MAX groundings. AC noted as part of the broader schedule changes this was moving to an evening departure.
