This has got to be a result of their aircraft shortage. The outbound leaves IAH at 8:00 p.m., so it's optimal use of the aircraft (out and back by morning vs. sitting in IAH for the night).

Everything is starting to trickle down:
- Pulling 757s from transcon/domestic to go international
- More 738/73G to replace 757s from transcon
- More 735/733 to replace displaced 738/73G on midcons
- Fewer 735/733 to go around, so creative scheduling like this.
