Exactly - clock time change coincides with the changes of winter and summer schedules, so it is really an entirely new set of operations that get put in place.

Incidentally, if, as promised, we stop changing time for the winter, I do wonder if the winter and summer season will keep happening on the same dates or change somehow. US airlines have long had more "seasons" of flights for instance, and I have often wondered if the 7 months - 5 months model is ideal for airlines.
