That would be a reasonable explanation, but the loads look even higher the following week!!
One thing that always strikes me as odd is that they use the 747 for Flt. 916 at 5:25p and the 777 for Flt. 932 at 9:45 pm. It would seem that they should use the larger plane on the later flight: most US business people can get an entire workday in before heading to the airport; more importantly, they would be able to easily accomodate all the misconnects on the late flight if it were a larger plane-- I've been told by some of my UA non-reving friends that the late flights to London and Frankfurt are tough for them to s/b on for this reason.
