The FAT-ORD flight became year round in 2019 after previously being a summer seasonal, you should have been able to see it in schedules. In 2019 it was a night arrival in Fresno with a quick turn back to ORD as a red-eye. When it resumes this year the eastbound red-eye is supposedly gone with the aircraft instead RON in Fresno for a morning departure to ORD.
