I don't believe for a minute that the majority of Polaris customers just want to sleep. That hogwash might fly if we all just flew eastbound with departures in the late afternoon/early evening. This is all about Kirby being cheap.
I can believe that explanation. We've seen it here from the frequent business travelers. They simply want to sleep and would likely accept an economy level of service if it meant 30 minutes of extra sleep
