UA has done a lot more of this kind of opportunistic, event-based flying over the last 5 years or so. A page out of the Delta playbook.
EWR-PHX also sees a bunch more flying. Thursday (2/9) has 2x 777, 2x 752, 753 and a 7M8. On the way back, Monday is the busiest day with 2x 777, 2x 739, 1x 752, 1x 753. ORD-PHX gets a 777 on Thursday with Monday return.
